One thing you fail to mention though, is that Syquest is now defunct and
warranty/support for the drives is non-existent. If you get a *REALLY*
good deal on the drive, then I'd say go for it, but be warned if something
goes wrong, your money's down the drain. I have a Jaz 2GB myself, and
while it was a bit pricier than the Sparq ($299 w/1 cartridge as opposed
to ~$160 for the Sparq) I am extremely pleased with its performance and
Iomega's support as well. Granted, Iomega used to be at the bottom of the
barrel as far as manufacturer support went, but that was a few years back,
and they're whistling a different tune now. Not saying that I wouldn't
have bought a Syquest if they were in business and doing well, but I have
qualms about buying product from a company that is either going down the
drain or already has.
Just my 2 cents
