(the disks for the EZ are the same as the 270 with only one usable side as far as I'e heard.) The dainty little switch (easily broken) and the overall fragility of the setup really turned me off. BTW, the Iomega Jaz drive is going to be a hard-platter type. (that's why it's going to be a good deal faster than Zip. The drive is supposed to feauture a solid lock-down on removal so the cartridges won't have that famous Syquest rattle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | _ | | We are dreamers, shapers, singers and makers. /_\ | | We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, // \\ | | Crystal and scanner, holographic demons, \\ //___\\ | | And invocations of equations. \\ // \\ | | \\__// \\ | | These are the tools we employ.
