I'm helping a neighbor who's helping a neighbor. He's trying to get a
Syquest SyJet IDE drive running under DOS (the neighbor->neighbor has a
bunch of DOS games she loves to play).
Does anyone have a Syquest SyJet IDE driver for MS-DOS? After a bit of
Googling, it would seem the file might be called SQATDRVR.SYS. It's
possible to set the BIOS parameters so the drive can be seen/read that way,
but cartridges can't be removed when it's done this way. Apparently the
driver facilitates that. If there's an accompanying utility that mounts
and/or dismounts the volume, I suppose it would be necessasry to have that
too.
TIA! --Patrick

I think I found drivers for it:

Has a boat load. Just need to know specific model I guess from the looks of it.

Patrick, a google search results in a number of sites that suggest
that they have a driver. Have you checked them?

Thanks guys for the assist on the URL. Turns out that I had that
one but could not get in the other night and thought that it was a
bad URL. It is definitely not!

Don, I checked a number of them before posting here. Among those I checked,
there were predominantly (1) listings that claimed to have the DOS driver
but in fact were Win95 drivers with nothing for DOS but a README suggestion
to use BIOS settings, which doesn't work since she wants to use the drive as
removeable, and (2) registration required, which I eschewed for the
likelihood of spam. One even required that I install a special downloader
(purchase of the Brooklyn Bridge was optional, however).
So, I was hoping that someone on list would have it.
