    How do I use SyQuest or Bernoulli cartridge drives in DOS with the Quadra 610 DOS Compatible computer?

DISCUSSION


    To format a SCSI device as a DOS drive, the device must first have a low-level format. There are many Macintosh SCSI formatting utilities that can do this. It is important that the device not be partitioned, or have a driver installed. Most third party formatting programs allow just a low-level format without doing anything more to the drive.

    Next, open PC Exchange 2.0, click the Options button, and then place a check by the SCSI drive that has just been formatted.

    Finally, open the PC Setup control panel, select the D: menu, and select Drive Partition. You will see the SCSI device as being an available choice. After selecting this, restart the PC, and the SCSI device will now be available as drive D in DOS.

    No DOS drivers are necessary, since the access to the device is being handled by PC Exchange and PC Setup.
