Qubata Syquest

Post by klausfrank »

Hello my fellow QL’ers
Anybody out there who had tried the Syquest with the QubATA? I have tried but the QubATA can’t or won’t recognize the drive. I would be very happy with some response.
Happy QLing

There must be a cartridge inside the drive for the software to recognize it as a hard disc.

Yes, you are right, but I have put in a cartridge formatted and by the QubIDE - it should work - but it will not!

Only works on Qubide v2 ROM/GAL ?

(My Iomega Zip 100mb drive required upgrade from v1.56 to V2.02 EPROM with new V2 GALs)

Yes, Syquest requires use of the alternate status register, hardware support was added in V2 GALs.

Hi Nasta,

Do you have the v2 GAL Code?
