Well, the SyQuest 44 may have problems in the military, but none here at my place. Using five cartridges regularly, with several others for backup. Not one glitch in two years now. I have two friends in town who are also using the SyQuest regularly (I mean as their regular HD) with -0problems. I often see comments like yours, that the SyQuest has problems, but have yet to hear of a concrete example. Perhaps you could let me know what has been failing regularly for you, so that I can avoid it 🙂 If the SyQuest has a problem (again, I haven't heard of any actual examples, just hearsay), I've wondered if it might be environment related. My Amiga (and my friends) are in relatively clean, dust-free rooms. I wonder if a different environment (ie. factory, dusty, etc) would lead to problems that I wouldn't see? –jp–seattle–
