- What!?? That syquest technology has been out for at least 2-3 years now. There
- were two different flavors that you could buy that drive in long before ZIP came
- out; the 135mB version and the 270MB version. Where syquest screwed up was in
- underestimating the market potential for their drives. It took the success of the
- ZIP drives to make them notice the sales they were missing out on.
