- I've never used SyQuest but I've had my ZIP drive for three weeks now and
- I love it. The cartridges are almost the size of floppies (a bit thicker
- and larger) - seem to be much more convenient than SyQuest cartridges.
- The drive is connected to the external SCSI port on my GVP 030/50MHz/8MB
- board along with three internal Quantum HD's - so far no problems
- whatsoever.
