I have had the plesure of testing, using and now Owning the "EZ-Flyer" from SyQuest. On first apperences the rather square shape is not bad looking. not exciting ither.

The cartridges are rather square in apperence, campaired to the ZIP and Hold 230MB on a single cartridge. The speed test on sys info read the drive at:-1,129,931 Bytes PerSecond.

The drive came with a scsi ID of 4(set as standard) to change that Just press the power button on, with the drive empty, pressing the eject button. and it only has a 25 pin connecter at the back. I connected it with a 25-50(Centronics) to the back of the CD ROM drive. and had no problems. And as it is Self terminated it also adds as a bonus. Mounting can be tricky! I use SCSi Mounter with the tool types set for the same device as the cd rom.

To mount from shell type scsi mounter d squirrelscsi.device U3 N The D is for Device the U is the SCSI unit - YES! your right I did say it came with an ID set to 4....I CHANGED IT!!! YOU would type 4!

It comes with a PSU and 1 Cartridge, PC FORMATED!!! To format it your self follow the cartridge instructions that I have set out in this Mag!! at £130 (ISH) it is not that bad an idea, What with flopy drives being used less and less! I cant think of any more witty/informative things to tell you about this drive, so if there are any questionsPHONE ME - STATIC -

thats me STATIC saying :-
