"Orphan" Removable-Media Drives
Several recent removable-media drives have become "orphans" because of the closing of their manufacturers. Orphan drives include
SyQuest (all models) Avatar Shark
Because orphan drives have very small capacities, limited performance, and limited or no support for current and forthcoming operating systems, I recommend that you transfer all data on orphan drive media to a current removable-media or optical-technology drive. Continuing to depend on an orphan can leave you stranded in the case of a drive or media failure.
If you need support for these drives, see the Technical Reference section of the DVD packaged with this book.
