I have a EZ-135 and it seems to work fine.  I installed Windows 95 on
it just for kicks and it works.

Linux treats it as a real SCSI drive.  I can mount it and read/write
data.  Currently Linux is boots from a Fixed SCSI drive on my system
but I am planing to set up a copy of Linux on a EZ-135 in the near
future so I can play with different Linux configurations

On some threads I have seen messages saying that the Syquest cartridge
is fragile.  I guess this means that if one dropped it on the floor,
one expects it to still work.  My SCSI drive and laptop are fragile if
that is the complaint.

I can move files from my home pc, my laptop and the desktop machine at
work.  135 mb is enough space that I can move programs that I am
working on along with the data very easily with  no real performance
impact vs running from local drive or network.

Being a SCSI device was a plus since I have SCSI drives and a SCSI
TBU.  

Future cost of the cartridges will be interesting.  If the previous
sales of Syquest has been to the Mac market, hopefully, the 90 percent
larger market of PC users may allow them to use more economical
manufacturing processes that can be afforded by the increased sales
volumns.  Qty 1 is expensive, qty 100000 is much cheaper, qty
1,000,000 is even better yet.  

Just my two cents.
