- I have had similar problem when plugging a 44Meg reader Syquest to a
- A2091 card. The problem was during heavy loading; for instance when I try
- to copy big files (more 100000 bytes) from Syquest to my 105 Quantum HD
- installed on the A2091, the machine hang. I was forced to reboot.
- Strange because, small files copying didn't hang the machine.
- Probably, it isn't due to Syquest because it works well when plugged to
- an A3000 or an MacII.
