Are the Syquest drives available in the ST-506/MFM models?  The only ones
I've seen are SCSI models.  These would be a NEAT alternative for those
of us who are contemplating the HD2 upgrade.  I think this would have
nice uses for backups, considering the scarcity and expense (and low
storage capacity) of the 3b1 tape setup.

Man, when is that Mondo Combo SCSI card gonna be ready?  I want to put
some of these guys on my 3B1!
