I take it that you are mostly interested in the portability of the unit
itself.  If you just want to tote the media between work and home, I
recommend the IDE version of the EZ 135.  It is fast (1.7MBytes/Sec) on
an EIDE controller (CORETEST.EXE) and cheap ($170 w/o disk) the disks are
$20 each and hold 127MB.  Of course you need to buy a unit for each machine.
I have two external EZ scsi units and an IDE EZ and I think they're great.
I'm more interested in speed because I work right off the drive. I also back
up to the server every day, but I haven't had a failure yet.
