Around the time of the Jaz drive was when
things started to go wrong.
Those things were all but useless; every single one that I knew of died
eventually. But before that, their removable mass storage systems
were, in my experience, quite good.
Well, you now know of two more Jaz drives that work just fine today.
I've still got a 1GB Jaz hooked up to an AT&T 6300 that's still is in
service. But, for that matter, I still have a Syquest Sparq drive in
service.
On the other hand, I'm not aware of any Syquest 44MB removable drives
still in operation.
