I, too, just got (two) SQ 270 drives. Had no trouble mounting with SCSIProbe 3.5 at first, then installed Silverlining 6.1 CP to use those drivers. Lido also mounted them. Don't know what to tell you other than that; I've been told no special software needed. One of my SQ drives works great, the other will mount and show the green light, but after a few seconds or minutes, the light turns yellow(or goes back and forth from yellow to green every half minute or so) and eventually the lever trips. My computers don't like that, giving me messages that I removed the disk while it was being used. Is this drive a hopeless cause? Anyone know? Happens when using same computer, cable, and SCSI ID I did with the first(working well) drive, and with various carts tried. Using, with both drives, the built-in active termination.
