zip drive

[Tim Tripp]

There has been talk in this thread primarily of Iomega's Zip drive, mention of 
a couple of other brands, but no mention of Syquest's EZ135 drive.  

Syquest has been in the removable storage media business a long time as 
well, although primarily for the Mac market.  They have been a standard in 
the desktop publishing industry for years.  They came out with the EZ drive 
about the same time as Iomega's Zip, and the prices are virtually equivalent.

What I like about the EZ drive is that it is both Mac and PC compatible.  I 
have my own EZ drive at home, and convinced the powers at be to let me get 
one at work.  I do a lot of work at home, particularly web page design, on 
my Mac, and carry a copy of my entire intranet's data back and forth with me 
to and from work which is a Windows environment.  All on compact 3 inch 
cartridges.
