Yenkai,
Greetings! There is no SCSI verison of the SparQ planned. If you require SCSI,
you may wish to consider our SyJet 1.5GB Drive, which is available right now in
internal and external SCSI, as well as internal EIDE and external parallel. The
SyJet (all versions internal and external) is $299 US, which includes two SyJet
1.5GB Cartridges (one in the box with the drive, and the second by mail under
the 3GB Deal promotion through January 30, 1998 in the US and Canada).
Additional SyJet 1.5GB Cartridges are $79.99 each or three for $199.99
Or why not both parallel AND SCSI? Its interesting to note that the external
parallel version of the SyJet (SYJET1PE-08, $299 US) is really the SCSI drive
unit bundled with our special parallel to SCSI adapter cable. So its ready to
go
out of the box on a PC's parallel port, but can also be used on a Mac or PC's
SCSI port (and a receive a much faster throughput together with bootability and
daisy-chain-ability). You'll need to purchase the proper SCSI cable. The SyJet
features HD50 style SCSI connectors (some folks refer to HD50 as "SCSI-II").
Depending on your operating system, you may also need to visit my website at
www.syquest.com to download SCSI drivers - no charge.
The parallel version of the SparQ though priced at only $199 is a dedicated
parallel device and so can only ever be used on a PC's parallel port. The whole
point of the SparQ is the low cost, and so no SCSI. It only comes in internal
EIDE and external parallel.
Sincerely,
Tay Bass
