Andre,
True. But then again the Syquest cartridges are true hard drive
platters, with all the resultant advantages of running a hard drive. And it
is much easier and cheaper to pop in a new cartridge than most other
alternatives. A cartridge for A-MAX, one for TELECOM, one for Desktop
Publishing, one for Wordprocessing and one for Database gives you LOTS of
FAST storage (at 42-44Megs per cartridge). That is an extreme example, as
many of those functions can be combined on cartridges, or the "main"
applications can be on one large hard drive, and the DATA on the Syquest.
