Yeah, I have visited their web site - but they are still in bankruptcy, their stock is worthless, and the competition is too tough for them. It is hard to compete with CD-R, CD-RW, and soon recordable DVD. Yeah, theirs are faster, and even hold more than CD-ROM, but look at the price of the cartridges - that's what kills them, and keeps the Jaz from taking off. Even Zip cartridges are way over-priced when compared to CD-R. 10 Zip cartridges cost about the same as 100 CD-R, and even though you can only record once on the CD-R, they hold from 2.5 to 6.5 as much data as a Zip cartridge, and can be read in virtually any PC. So I don't rate their chances of surviving as good - even Iomega is having a tough time of it. In git.ads David W. Lovell <gt3285b@prism.gatech.edu> is alleged to have stated: -> Actually they are still trying to stay in business and are somewhat -> honoring returns/repairs/replacements on warrantied items. -> See this website: -> http://www.syquest.com/infaqans.html -> Thanks, -> David W.
