Syquest was hyping this big time last Spring - lots of space on their web
page, etc.  I saw an ad (w/photo) for it in the TigerSoft catalogue -
looked great, and I was all set to buy one.  Then, all mention of it
suddenly disappeared.  I emailed Syquest, and they didn't respond.
Clearly, they withdrew it, and for some reason didn't want even to
acknowledge it had ever existed. A pity, I think there is  big market
for such a device.
