Evan, Gee, I'm not surprised Syquest is still around. Mail-order price of $400 for 44M drives, and $600-880 for 88M is still cheaper than optical. Thye're also the current standard for service bureaus (primarily pre-press, print & slide). Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Kevin: OK – that makes sense if they're used by service bureaus. For some reason, I thought Exabyte 8mm tapes were one of the prefered standards. Not? Evan

Evan, Not. Although Exabyte is often used for transfer of .TGA animations to lay off to digital VTRs. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
