I recently sold my SDX, but I also had an external SyQuest SCSI drive,
which used 270mb cartidges. The SDX recognized it immediately when it
was attached to the SCSI port on the back. I used the external drive
to back up my most-used kits and could load them all from that one
drive. The op system was on the internal SCSI drive, though.
You can't really partition a SCSI drive for the SDX, since the
operating system only recognizes 70mb (remember, that was HUGE for the
late 1980s). But I had the op system and lots of sounds on that one
drive well before adding the external SCSI drive.
Those SyQuest drives are CHEAP, work well, and I see them on EBay all
the time.
If you have the op system disc, perhaps you just need to reload it.
I'll bet Patrice has the answer. You can find his entries all over the
board here.
Good luck,
Jym
