I saw the following posted on the Yahoo! Syquest thread. I thought it was interesting, even though the Insight response doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Why would one want to discontinue a hot seller? Why not just quote the lead time and take orders from anyone willing to wait for delivery, like every other vendor on the planet does? Anyway, FWIW:

I called the company and got no answer to why the SparQ internal IDE was dicontinued, so I sent them an e-mail. I was concerned that it might be a quality problem. Below is the message I sent and the reply I received back. Demand is Hot put Syquest must get onboard to meet it!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
No, there was no problem except Syquest could not keep up with the demand of inventory. When a mfg has no more to distribute they must discontinue the product.
Hope this helps,
