Unfortunately, people often forget to note the details. The Syquest SQ-306 and SQ-312, 5 and 10 megabyte removeable cartridge drives, were nororiously unreliable. I know I'd be reluctant to try another Syquest drive after my experiences with those. The next time you hear stories about Syquest drives, ask WHICH ones they are referring to. -- Mike Berger Department of Statistics, University of Illinois AT&TNET 217-244-6067 Internet berger@atropa.stat.uiuc.edu
