- It seems one would have to use the rigth driver. I can boot our Quadra
- and our MAC IIx, both with Sysquest drives from different manufacturers,
- whether there is a cartridge in them or not. I can not boot them with
- one of the 44MB cartridges. The drive on the Quadra also lets me eject
- the cartridge, even when I can not unmount, which leads to two error
- messages along the lines of "Read/write error..." & "Can't do that because
- Filesharing is active" (Bad translation from German MacOS).
- Then its reset-time because reinserting the cartridge doesn't help, and
- when you click one error message away the other appears.
-
- There are no problems if you insert the cartridge after filesharing is
- active.
