It has a standard ST506 interface.
Unreliable? Hmm.
I have one here that came along with a mac system I was given a while back
(from which I'm happily using the LJ-5 that came along with it that speaks
postscript :-), it's apparently an external unit, 5.25" form factor, and
SCSI interface, and I've tried to do nothing with it so far.
Maybe I won't hurry to use it...

In my head I cannot always keep clear the distinction between the
early 80's IOMega and the early 80's Syquest removable cartridge drives.
Am I correct in remembering that the Syquests of that time used the
34/20 pin MFM-hard-drive "ST506" interface?
