- Can't say anything specific on this, but you can check out the syquest site:
-
- http://www.syquest.com.
- The last time I checked there the SyJET (which is the 1G+ - actually 1.3G) was
- worth a retail value of $599 US and cartridges were to cost something like
- $69/1.3G. The boast that the price will (if it's not out yet) be the cheapest
- yet at 7cents/Meg!
- The specs you can get from the Syquest site.
- I haven't heard much about its availablity yet, but it should be out soon if it
- want's to compete with the Jaz, which was a problem with bringing their EZ135
- after the ZIP.
