We bought a zip drive from Argo at Acorn World '96, and so far (touch wood)
we have had no problems.
The only thing I would say is beware of dongles and other parallel port
devices. Apparently, from newsgroup postings, they can get upset with a zip
drive present.
But then of course there's always the SCSI model.

As far as I'm concerned there doesn't seem to be /much/ between zip drives
and Syquest: it's really up to you. (Sorry! :-) )
