>>At $199, it's priced about the same as a Zip drive?" The author simply made a mistake << The Zip Plus retails for $199, just like the SparQ. This is the Zip drive he author was obviously comparing SparQ to. So, he was correct in his comparison of the two. SparQ discs are about 1/3 the price of Jaz discs. Com'n SyQuest....make a SCSI version!

>>Yes, we're all aware that the SparQ has the best cost per MB. Of course the article did not include your example. However, if you believe that the author really meant to include disks in the Jaz comparison, how do you explain the Zip comparison made earlier in the very same paragraph where he states: "At $199, it's priced about the same as a Zip drive?" The author simply made a mistake and was apparently not aware of the recent price reductions on Jaz. Nice try.<< SparQ with 1000megs = $199.00 Zip with 1000megs = $218.00 (and this is the cheap zip) Author looks right on track to me. I think he might have even been a little easy on IOM.
