One limitation or problem with the SyQuest is that the cartrige is prone to get dust inside it if you don't keep it in its' storage case! This can be very nasty to data storage!! This has not been addressed in the 88 meg version either. >Thanks, >Parker No problem, Dan Bendiksen. -- DAN BENDIKSEN - via FidoNet node 1:105/14 UUCP: ...!{uunet, reed}!glacier!busker!601!DAN.BENDIKSEN INTERNET: DAN.BENDIKSEN@f601.n105.z1.FIDONET.ORG

Can anyone recommend the RICOH drives, especially those with the
GVP driver? I'm really hardware illiterate, but I need a harddrive bad,
and that's been the most tempting choice...

I got a Ricoh drive with a Gvp series II controller card from
Manta Sales & service about 3 weeks ago....
15 mins with a screw driver & 2 clicks of the mouse on the
supplied Install disk & Ive been trying to fill'er up ever since!
I highly recommend this combination of hardware...& I highly
recommend Manta of N.J.
