I use an old Syquest drive myself. I got it because it was cheap, but
also because it holds 135 megabytes, rather than 100 (the new Syquests
hold 270).
It's extremely handy, especially since I use a boot manager, with two C
partitions (one for Windows, one for OS/2) which can't see the other
when one is in use.
It's also very handy for archiving and delivering files to clients.
Moreover, because it's older technology, the disks are extremely cheap.
