This is just a guess, but the fact that Syquest is selling off EVERYTHING but their name points to one thing--

Co-Branding CD-R/W and DVD discs and drives.

A few new potential buyer's names spring to mind-- Yamaha, Ricoh...Teac?

More press from CNET:

Here are a couple of interesting snips:

"The company, which at one time held the No. 1 position in the portable storage market before falling far behind Iomega, had $36.9 million in assets at the time of its bankruptcy filing, but was $85 million in debt."

"SyQuest's largest unsecured creditors are Akashic Memories and StorMedia, which are owed a combined $1 million, said Tobias Keller, a SyQuest spokesman."
