<<I can't imagine this being anything but good news for SYQT.>>

That's a very fast jump to conclusion...

1. <noted by Iomega support (although this has not been confirmed officially)> Huge ambiguity! It's noted by Iomega but not confirmed? So have we heard Iomega's side or not? Huh?

2. <I use jaz drives all the time...4 or 5 Jaz drives fail (in one way or another) of the 10 or 11 drives that I've used...> So this consultant continues to use a product that gives him a 40% to 50% failure rate? Would you? I don't buy it -- the word 'prank' comes to mind.

I'm not an engineer (I don't even play one on TV)...but wouldn't this type of flaw would seem like an inherent design issue rather than an isolated incident such as the recent cartridge recall? I mean, it's not a component that's failing, mag fields are a prevailing condition. So nobody has noticed until now?

My monitor sits directly on top of my CPU and the internally mounted Jaz has not had a problem in the 4 months I've owned it. The external Jaz drives at our office are within inches of our 21" monitors -- not a single problem since first day of use (8 months ago).

Let's wait and see what IOM has to say. Their record has been good about acknowledging the problem cartridges...no reason to suspect they would deceive on this issue. I think it will be quickly quashed as nothing more than a crank phone call.
