I'm using an APS Syquest drive with no problems.  I think the reason it
works is by accident.  The main drive I'm using for A/UX was partitioned 
with Silverlining, as was the Syquest cartridge I'm using (with two A/UX
partitions).  I think that since the Silverlining driver has already
been loaded in memory when the A/UX drive booted (with MacPartiton),
then the cartridge doesn't need to boot to use this driver (I'm guessing!!).
I can simply install the cartridge, let it come up to speed, and do
a mount on one or both of the slices I'm using.  Unmounting the cartridge
doesn't remove the driver since it's still being used the other HD.
