- I was hoping to find a A/UX driver that would allow the SyQuest to be
- treated the same as the floppy drive. Under the MacOS (standalone), I use
- Redux to backup and would like to have the same functionality for A/UX. If
- that worked, then it should also be possible to use tar or cpio to the
- SyQuest as you can with floppies.
