I want to bounce an idea off the collective. I just picked up a Syquest
EZ-Flyer 230 (EIDE) with about a dozen disks. I've already got two IDE
devices on my Q40 (HD and CDROM). I'm thinking about putting in the
Syquest in the Q40 and only hooking it up when I needed it (mostly for backup).
Essentially I would turn the Q40 off, crack the case, switch the power and
IDE cable from the CDROM to the Syquest, turn on the Q40 and go about using
the Syquest. I'd reverse the procedure to get the CDROM back.
Does this sound like a good idea? Has anybody tried the Syquest on the Q40?
BTW, I got the Syquest free, so if I can't use it on the Q40, no
problem. A friend of mine is moving from an apartment in San Francisco to
an RV (where he'll travel and find jobs in different towns). He was giving
most of the stuff in his apartment to friends. Besides the Syquest I got a
boat-load of 80's records. I know if I kept him as a friend for the past
20 years it would pay off :-).
