I have a relatively ancient 512K which I upgraded to 1 meg, SCSI, and two
fairly flaky 800K floppies.

I *really* need a hard drive and have been considering one of the Syquest
drives now that the prices have been falling.  However, I will undoubtedly
fill up more than one cartridge (probably 3 or 4).  I have had many painful
experiences doing the floppy-disk-shuffle and I am curious how bad it would
be if I needed to access other cartridges occaisionally.  I would appreciate
you sharing your experiences with me.

Please e-mail and I'll summarize if there is enough of an interest.

Thanks,
Gary Thompson
