SYQT Auction News: Dale, thanks for the info...It's amazing the information that can be dug up on the net. Looks like they're closing shop. So much has been made of the success of SparQ drive against the Jaz that even Herb was touting Syquest over IOM, well it goes to show you how much Herb knows about the removable drive business. Herb should further provide follow up advise for his followers about what they should do with their Syquest shares that I'm sure some of them had purchased after his dissertation of their value. I suspect that the recent price reductions of the Jaz products are designed to keep the pressure on SparQ. We've criticized IOM in the past for not putting competition to bed perhaps they've changed their tactics. It looks like Sony's HiFD isn't going to make it this year, the OEM's would have to have them this quarter for the all important 4 quarter and the holiday season. I noticed in a Micron P-II 400 ad that the Zip drive opening was molded into the case the same way a lot of the OEM's do for the 1.44 floppy. This is the first time that I've seen a case designed around the fitting for a Zip. Also noticed that the Nomai web page has become a lot more friendly to IOM, this guy's a sleeper, trying to keep an eye on it but not much coming out, would like to see a DVD- ATAPI combo drive. Regards Reseller

Re: SYQT Auction As an IOM shareholder, I find it rather sad that an American company is going out of business. Closing up shop, sending everyone home, and basically admitting failure. Although, it's nice to have one less competitor out there, it was nicer when it was us against them mentality. I really feel sadend that SYQT is nearing the end of it's life cycle. If only managment had played their cards right. If only..... Zead In retrospect, it makes sense now why IOM lowered the price of Jaz, the press releease touting Jaz, it's the survival of the fittest I guess.
