my syquests say 135 mb, though IIRC that must be raw, because useable was a more even
number, like 125mb, which the formatting program agreed with. I made it my c: drive on my
I386 pc so I could switch operating systems before virtualization. I was pissed that
though os/2 said it would install on 125 MB, it actually meant OVER 125 MB and would not
install.

Zip, Jaz....all Iomega. The Zips were 100MB, 250MB and 750MB. The Jaz
was 1 GB and 2 GB, if memory serves.
The 88M sounds like a SyQuest drive--very popular in the 90s with the
Mac crowd. Pretty much unknown in the PC world. 44M 88M and 200M,
after which SyQuest went toes-up.
