SyQuest Technology, Inc. An early entrant into the removable {hard disk} market for {personal computers}. For may years SyQuest held the market, particularly as a method of transferring large {desktop publisher} documents to printers. SyQuest aim their products to give personal computer users "endless" hard drive space for data-intensive applications like {desktop publishing}, {Internet} information management, pre-press, {multimedia}, {audio}, {video}, {digital photography}, fast {backup}, data exchange, {archiving}, confidential data security and easy portability for the road. At the top of their current (Mar 1997) range are two drives, The {SyJet} 1.5 {GB} a 3.5 inch, double platter removable drive and the {EZFlyer} 230 {MB} also on 3.5 inch media. A cartridge holding over 4.7GB is promised before the end of 1997. In recent years they have not fared as well in the market, whilst {Iomega} has cornered the {Small Office/Home Office} (SOHO) market. Over the period 1995 to 1997 sales declined resulting in a series of losses. In the first quarter of 1997 these losses had been reduced to $6.8 million with net revenues increasing to $48.3 million. This compares to a net loss of $33.8 million, or $2.98 per share, on net revenues of $78.7 million for the same period the year before. It would appear that substantial restructuring has occurred over the past few years. {Home (http://www.syquest.com/)}. (1997-03-27)
