BS.  They are either uninformed or lying.  I use a syquest on my SCSIdos3.0
controller right now.  It works (mostly) great.  Every once in a while
(say, once every week or two) it will hang if I do lots of I/O read/write
at the same time, but I wouldn't think that is the SyQuest's fault.
If you buy the SyQuest drive, let me know and I will send you my
startup-sequence, mountlist, catridge-formatting script, and so on.

(I also have a cartidge-to-cartridge backup program, but it is going
commercial so I can't send it around :-().
