Durability tests.

Although EZ Flyer was slower than I'd anticipated, Syed Iftikar will be happy to know the Syquest products are more durable than I'd thought. Here's the tests.

DROP TEST
I dropped an EZ cart on concrete to see if they're really as fragile as I'd heard.
5 feet.......survived.
7 feet.......survived.
25 feet......dead!
I was surprised how well it held up. The disk worked fine after two drops. Even with the 25 foot drop, the cart *appeared* undamaged, but at that point the drive could not read it. In fact, the system hung up as it tried to access the cart, and I had to reboot.
By comparison though, the Zip disk survived the 25 foot plunge, no problemo.
