I have been using a syquest 44 for about 5 years now and have had no
problems at all.  have had it on a Ramfast SCSI since I bought it.
I run part of my supertac for my bbs off the syquest drive and
have yet to have any files go corrupt on me.   I do make sure I eject
the disk before I power down each time, dont know if that makes a
differance or not.
