Finally!  I've been dying to find out what those SyQuest drives are 
like.  Do they require a controller, or is it possible to wire them, or 
a Bernoulli box or something into one of the thinkpad ports?  The hard 
drive upgrades are so expensive here in Australia the SyQuest 270meg 
drive and cartridge is actually cheaper than the 170->340 upgrade at time 
of purchase!  If anyone has external drives working, could they please 
let me know?
