I would have added something like the Sega 32X to the dishonorable mention list.

why did so many people have Jazz drives, btw? they had em in every pc at my school, and I was like WTF? no one uses jazz.
I had the SyQuest EZ drive (135MB) instead of the ZIP.

the EZ drive discs were actual hard drive platters so the performance was a good bit better, too. They also didn't have the issues that ZIP did. It's too bad they never really caught on as it was a superior product IMO.

I took some kinda quiz online and one a SyQuest T-shirt...thats as much as I know about the company still it seems they had some neat products.

all of those drives would have been great if not for the cd-burner revolution, that was happening at almost the exact same time.
