- Yes it does. I use AFS on the Zip and it's helped tremendously (you get r/w
- speeds more in tune with what IOMega says is the max as opposed to FFS)

- I've had no problem digitizing/playing back stereo audio (2 tracks) @ 48000
- kHz in 16 bit from my Sunrize 516. I haven't tried any more tracks than 2 but

- Well I hate SyQuest technology and will be dancing on it's grave the day it
- dies. It's clunky, old.. and what really pisses me off is SyQuest acts like
- the Zip is in competition with the EZ135, when it's really the other way
- around.
-
- We've all had this fight before, and if you absolutely need another 35 megs
- and a bit more speed, then yes, the EZ135 is "better" than the Zip. The EZ135
- is a nice drive I'm sure, and it doesn't suffer from some of the bad design of
- normal SyQuest by nature.
