Macs to move to all DVD solutions for removable storage................... zdnet.com For storage, Apple reiterated that the venerable floppy drive is reaching the end of its useful life; the company is looking to Internet connections and removeable high-capacity storage to fill the gap. In place of CD-ROM drives, the company will move to DVD-ROM and DVD-RAM storage systems when they become available. In place of SCSI, the company will implement Ultra ATA and Ultra-2 SCSI-3 connections. Eventually, the company will move its mass storage to FireWire as well, Miranker said. Mark Foster, VP of PowerBook engineering, said Apple will support the new high-performance AltiVec extensions to the PowerPC architecture announced by Motorola Inc. last week. Foster said the extensions will provide a 30-fold performance boost for "media-rich algorithms" such as MPEG, 3-D graphics and image-processing routines.
