  From SECOND and THIRD hand experience I decided against a Syquest 
myself.  They can be had for about 400 clams but they (40 meg, at
least) don't seem to be the greatest design.  I left messages on
CompuServe and lots of boards about Syquest when I was interested,
and the responses scared me away.  Who needs READ/WRITE ERRORS?
  The RICOH drive is supposedly better.  In fact GVP told me they
had stopped selling Syquest because there were too many problems, but
the RICOH drive would be better.
  I ended up with a 20 Meg Bernoulli (got it for a song, used!) and
a GVP II controller.  I'm happy as a clam.
