How about the broke, SYQUEST?
This is a discussion about How about the broke, SYQUEST? in the Windows Hardware category; I have my good old Syquest EZ135 removable cartridge drive sitting there wondering how to connect itslef to W2K. Since it is still among the best, interms of drive performance for removable medias, it is a pity for not having further upgrade possibility from Syquest.

If you know how to make it work in W2K, please post.
I have try their latest ever driver on W2K but without a clue. The system hust comes booting with a blue screen stating that the driver unload itself before it is allowed by the system oskernel to do so. What is the catch or tweak required?

I've noticed that W2K has native support for Syquest drives. You should be able to just plug it in and have W2K recognise it automatically.
If this doesn't work, perhaps you could give us some details about your setup...
