I'd had my EZ Flyer for nearly a year (almost daily use) when it stopped
working. Problem: disks would not stay in.

Syquest Tech Support (UK) took it back and apparently repaired it.
The disks still wouldn't stay in.

Syquest replaced the drive. Same problem.

They replaced the drive again. Still the same problem.

I've tried with two different PPCs,  and also I've tried unconnected to any
computer. The disks won't stay in.

Is it the disks? Well, I don't know but why would eight disks all fail at
the same time. Previous problems with disks had been fixed with Norton Disk
Doctor and on one occasion, reformatting. But these problems were
occasional. Never did I have a problem with more than one disk at a time,
let alone all eight.

I would welcome any suggestions.

Thanks very much

Well, I'd be inclined to suspect it's a disc fault.  But why all eight
at once?  Maybe (just maybe) the original EZ drive had a fault which
damaged the discs in such a fashion that they are now not recognized at
valid discs.

I have no idea what sort of damage could possibly cause this - I'm just
thinking of the least unlikely cause.

Good luck,
Rowland.
