Don't give up on this company!

I own a Syjet external SCSI 1.5GB drive and I think this is a damn good drive. Unfortunately, I got ahold of two older model drives that had problems ejecting the cartridge. It looks like Syquest has changed their design because the eject mechanism is totally smooth now.
I have no problems with it and it looks like they changed the power adapter design too. It no longer has a long power cord coming out
of it making it easy to tote the SCSI external version around anywhere.

I use my Syjet drive as a second disk drive. One cartridge has
all my development tools on it and whenever I need to use it, I
simply pop the cartridge in and program away. When I need to
access my business files, well, you guessed it, I pop in
my Quicken cartridge. Whenever I need to get multimedia files, I pop in my multimedia disk And so on. This is a tremendous cost
effective way for me to avoid having to buy hard disks.

Could it be that the sales of the Syjet drives were hampered by returns on the faulty Syjet ejecting drives? I had two drives I returned to my local computer store because of the cartridge jamming.
I got the newer model and can't be happier.

I just visited several computer stores today here in Silicon Valley. In every store I see Syjet drives stocked with very little IOMega Jaz drives sitting on the shelves. I see lots of Zip drives, but doing the math, Sparq is a better alternative.
