Still trying to find a DOS driver to use my newly acquired Sydos Puma 88
Drive
I found this information of Syquest's web site but was not able to find
the drivers they mentioned.
Does anyone have one of these units or know where I can find the drivers
and manuals ?
Thanks.. Phil

TB8010 - SyDOS PUMA Subsystems
The SyDOS PUMA 44 and 88 MB units were produced for
the PC
marketplace by the SyDOS division of SyQuest. SyDOS
was a
division of SyQuest located in Florida. Its
function was to provide
products for the DOS marketplace. Some of its
parallel port products
used the SyQuest SQ555 and SQ5110 SCSI drives in a
subsystem
with a parallel to SCSI adapter card, power supply,
etc. This hardware
interface card with the SyQuest drivers installed
the SQ drives into the
DOS 3.0 through 6.22 operating systems.
The manufacturer of the hardware PP to SCSI
interface is no longer in
business. With the release of Win'95 requiring some
additional
hardware interface support, the PUMA units can not
be updated to be
Win'95 compliant. This additional hardware
requirement makes the
update to Win'95 real mode drivers unavailable. On
some systems the
PAR driver can install the PUMA unit in the DOS
Compatibility mode.
This greatly depends on the hardware in your PC
system.
The PUMA unit was developed before the release of
Win'95 and the
ECP/EPP hardware. Some older 486 class PCs should
be able to
install the PUMA units in the DOS Compatibility
mode. The newer the
PC, the less likely the installation will be
successful. SyQuest drivers,
utilities, and readme files are in our download
section or
ftp.syquest.com.
The PUMA1.ZIP and PUMA2.ZIP files are the two files
containing the
driver and utilities for these units. You must use
PKUNZIP to extract
the driver and utilities.
