>>If I ever see one in the stores for $200 + $100/3disks, I'll buy it, benchmark it, and report the results here. But if they don't come close to their stated minimum transfer rate of 3.7 MB/sec, I'll take it back. If they just meet that minimum sustained number (copying > 100MB), I'll sell all my IOM stock and IOM hardware.<< Edwin - Don't be so ready to sell your IOM stock. Or even the hardware, for that matter. Speeds and feeds don't tell the whole story in the peripherals market. SparQ could be everything they say it is, and still be a dismal failure in the marketplace. I'm not predicting it will be, I'm just saying it's a possibility. - Allen
