Everyone keeps mentioning how fragile these Syquest EZ135 drives are supposed to be, but the thing I can't understand: if they are so fragile, how can SyQuest afford to have a 2-year warranty on the drive, and a 5-year warranty on the media. I'm not disputing the claims made by others, I just wonder if maybe SyQuest has improved its technology. kspirits@MO.Net wrote: : In article <4367uc$kue@pluto.lbs.lon.ac.uk>, ivo@news.lbs.lon.ac.uk (Ivo : Welch) wrote: : > : that sort of thing.
