OTOH, Syquest is superior technology to Iomega. Essentially its the
ultimate floppy (bernouoli technique fo flying read head on dynamic air
gap in floppy media) from Iomega vs the smallest removable hard disk -
plated metal disks and all from Syquest. In addition, Syquest supports
at least twice the data transfer rate, sometimes more, than any of the
Iomega stuff. And look for some of the threads on the Jazz drive
overheatting and jamming cartridges - one reviewer even recommended
buying from anybody BUT Iomega (APS, etc) for Jazz deives.

I have used both companies products for years. Syquest are the only
archive quality data retention rates, and all our system backups are on
their drives.

I vote for Syquest. And, like apple, the rumors of their demise is
exagerated. Hmm, somebody named Clemmins said that too.....

Good Luck
