So, theories:
- This drive isn't 88mb compatible after all
- *All* my carts are bad
- The carts were degaussed and thereby lost some sort of low-level
formatting or other ID method that the drive uses to recognize them
- There's some sort of mode jumper or switch (hardware/software) to
kick it into 88mb compatibility mode, if such a thing exists. I have
no manual for these drives
- I need some sort of driver to enable reading 88mb carts; I don't
think this is the case - most OSes should simply see them as removable
media; it's the drive's job to sort out cart compatibility
Any experience/insight/advice is appreciated here. Also offers of a
88mb Syquest drive :)
I've got a real 88 drive hooked to a real Mac - I can test a couple here
if you'd like. Just contact me off-list.
