I need retrieving some important files that were saved on an OLD SyDOS Puma 105 EUR.
I have for this an old AT 286 with all necessary.
Please... help me to find drivers for this SyDOS PUMA 105 external MO drive.
Thank you!!!

This is a lesson in bringing your old backup media/backups into the present vs. thinking you can always go back and be able to access it. Stuff stored in closets for years can't just be trotted out and plugged into modern equipment. Tapes get crusty and deteriorate in hot closets. Tape drives that used to work, don't. It's hard to find

Not specific to this poster, but it's probably smart to do something like this before retiring a backup solution:
Restore from media to a hard drive and store in a climate controlled location OR
Restore and backup to the cloud (an ongoing expense). It's tough to find 8" floppy disk or drives!!!
