The SyJet is a VERY different drive than the old SyQuest drives. This is a 1.5GB disk and it _does not_ take the old style cartridges.
OK. Now I know.
I remember drooling over the SyJet back when it was competing against the original 1GB Jazz drive. They were really nice, but eBay is probably the best place to look for cartridges, IIRC they were about $150 new, so they are definitely not worth buying new cartridges.
In the day I was still using my Apple IIGS as my main computer. As long as it was a SCSI drive it would work.
If you are going to toss it, I would love to have one for my collection and I could pick it up.
I still use it for my Apple IIGS harddrive. If you have a bunch of working 80MB units I wouldn't mind trading up and help you fill out your collection. The big thing is I still have to have a working unit on this machine. This is actually a clone of the Syquest drive. It's called a Dynatek.
