Yeah, those old SyQuest 44MB-200MB drives and carts I still see lots of in studios. In serious editing circumstances, it's more common to bring the actual fixed external hard drives that contain the video/audio files along to other studios, as it saves time (editing time is very expensive), as well as is more reliable than removable storage. SyQuest also recently signed a deal with Digidesign (a subsidiary of Avid) to use the SyJet with Pro-Tools (a professional Mac-based audio editing platform that I use frequently). What's funny is that the actual editing data from all of these monstrously powerful media machines usually all fits easily on one 1.44MB floppy. I wished I had attended NAMM, as Roland had some new products I wanted to check out. They have a new 16 track version of the pro-sumer Vs-880 digital audio recorder, also a Zip-based entry level Vs-840 8-track recorder, and Mackie has a new digital mixer that costs only about $8000 or so.
