Here's a good FAQ on SyQuest drives that answered my question regarding
whether or not a 44MB drive was compatible with an 88MB drive was
compatible with a 200MB drive.
The bottom line is that the original 88MB drive could only read a 44, not
write to it. People got pissed, so SyQuest came out with an 88c ('c' for
"combination") that could both read and write 44MB disks. The 200MB drive
can read/write/initialize 44/88/200MB disks.
