The SyQuest has a Max transfer rate of 2.4MB/sec & Min of 1.4MB/sec.
The Zip lists 1.25MB/sec.  I would guess these could be deceptive though.

Couldnt find a track seek time for the Zip.

I found 135MBs for $20 and 100MBs for 10/$150.

I picked the SyQuest too.

Anybody find any 135MBs for cheaper?  Where?

Later, terry.
