>>Please post more info on the Quest drive, availability and price?<<

Altern8 -

Although the announcement on November 10th said the drive would ship before the end of the year, this is the latest word from SyQuest, from their website:

"Quest 4.7 GB will begin shipping in limited quantities to OEMs in March 1998 and to other distribution channels in April 1998."
