Syquest sucked (mainly) because all the guts of the drive were explosed and susceptible to damage.
The cartridges only had a flimsy strip to encolse them, and the drives only had a flap protecting it.
Air, dust, and crap don't mix well with heads, platters and such.
So, anyone want my used 135 MB drive with Linux on it? Umm..anyone??
