Looking for SyQuest SQ270/SQ270P and SQ5200C/SQ200 Win95 drivers. I read they were most used on Macs , will they work on Windows 95 too?

SyQuest SQ270 SCSI should work on a Windows 9x machine if you have a proper SCSI adapter. The drivers for Windows will be for the adapter not the drive.

How about the parallel drives? Can any parallel driver epathd.mpd work? https://www.helpjet.net/Fs-32300988-41778946- … 78-extract.html
Those models didn't have a parallel port version.
Yes they do. Model is SyQuest SQ270P. I'm guessing the internal drive is IDE or it might be a parallel PCB.
I have kept that driver from Win95 times, dont know what Hardware is supported, at least my 40 MB SCSI drive was.

My mistake, i thought the first Syquest drive with a parallel port model was the ez135.

Good find Digicube ! I have a bunch of older Syquest drivers and manuals in my archives but they are older than that.
One thing about the older Internal or external SCSI ones is that they mated to a 25pin EXT port on a SCSI card or Mac (like an old SCSI scanner).
The internal drives were standard 50pin so would work with any internal scsi adapter of the time with proper scsi drivers.
The old drivers only support certain scsi adapters BUT the utilities will work with nearly any good scsi adapter if you have the adapters drivers.
Will save your linked drivers as they are newer than the 3.50 I have.

Thanks for the links. I found parallel Win2000/XP drivers Ephdw2k.zip here. https://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=84377
Looking for Shuttle Technology EPIA parallel port IDE adapter Windows 95 driver. The drivers on Syquest website are not for the SQ series drives, they are for EZFlyer and SyJet drives.
Edit: Found it.

EPIA is DOS driver, it forces Win95 to run in DOS compatibility mode. This disables my IDE and SCSI controller, so my DVDROM is not working. Windows locks up during writing, have to wait until completion before it's free to use again. Bummer.
I might as well remove the IDE drive from the external enclosure and connect via IDE.
Edit: I delete the EPIAHD drivers from loading in Config.sys. Now IDE, SCS ports and DVD drive working. Win95 is now only locking for a few seconds during writing instead of until completion. Much improved.
