#SyQuest 270
"Are these SyQuest 270M drives internal or external? And are they the
same size as the SyDos 270M and 105M drives? Those weigh 2.5 pounds
(external) and can run on batteries if a battery pack is purchased. They
also have a carrying handle. But they work from the parallel port. Are
these SCSI 270's available as external drives in that same size and
weight?"
Betty: As Leslie mentioned, the SyQuest-270 can be purchased as a bare
drive to be mounted internally ($399), or you can have them mount it in an
external SCSI case for about $100 more. The drives are 3? inch, almost
exactly the same size as a floppy drive. I'm sure the SyDos 270 and 105's
are just special versions for the PC crowd, and would probably use the
same cartridge as mine. I know SyQuest makes an IDE version of these
drives as well.
