I have both a Syquest and a Fujitsu MO drive. They can be used
as fixed disks, but there is a problem when you change media.
A unit attention arises and the device disappears. Therefore
you need to reboot even if you put in an identically partitioned
cartridge.
Could there support for such drives be added?

Thanx in advance.
Robert
