I recently bought a 200M SyQuest drive at Goodwill (for $2, with a cable and terminator) and dug out the old 88M cartridge my wife used will in graduate school. The price tag on it was $79. I bought 10 - 200M disks from a guy on ebay for $23 shipped. I really like this drive because I never have to worry about screwing up one of our Zip disks anymore. We've got about 2 doozen 100's, and probably one out of four don't mount anymore, or at least not consistantly. I've only got one "SyQuest" disk that won't mount, and ironicly it was made by Iomega :) These big, bulky disks do look a bit outdated next to our G4 though. J White Buy American S.O.S.
