We have several SyJet's at work (as well as a couple of the old
EZ135s). I've been wanting one at home, but haven't wanted to 
pay the $299. I'm wondering if The SyJet can read a SparQ cartridge?
That would make hiway-net ;-) transfers home very easy.

I agree. The only problem we have with the SyJet cartridges is infant
mortality. And that's only about 1 in 20.

What's the cost difference? SCSI is going to have better performance. But
I'd be interested in the answer too. If the cartridge can be read by
the SyJet.
