I've been using a SyQuest for about 6 months now and am very satisfied.  I
was considering buying a 40 meg quantum for about $400, but I got the SyQuest
for $650 instead (new) and due to its removable media and relatively speediness
I consider it well worth the money.  

It was pretty easy to install - just pop the lid, remove your floppies,
bolt it into the bay, replace the floppy and lid and your ready to go!

The only problem that I have is that I can't use the A2091 controller, it
won't let me use the drive, so I use a WordSync instead.  Also, Supra's 
diskchange command doesn't work, so I use the regular dos command.

Hope this helps
