Re: Sony HiFD >>>Also anybody with anything new from the Sony camp on the hidensity floppy to be released. This could stop the Zip in its tracks.<<< Just read this (Computer Retail Week 2/9): "A five-star group of suppliers is on hand for this year's Retail XChange, bringing the latest technology to the table before it is brought to the market." <snip> "Sony will be showing its new HiFD floppy drive, with a 200MB capacity and a 3.6MB per second transfer rate. "That's leaps and bounds faster than floppies," said Bob DeMoulin, marketing manager for CD-R and DVD-ROM products. The product was announced by Sony in November at Comdex/Fall and is scheduled to ship in the summer. A price has not yet been set, although DeMoulin said it would be competitive with Zip drives." techweb.com It's interesting to me to hear confirmation of pricing "competitive with Zip drives." I wonder what Zip drives will be selling for this summer when the HiFD is expected to ship. Perhaps I'll call Sony. Stephen, as far HiFD's ability to "stop the Zip in its tracks," I have one word for you: compatibility. Regards - Dale
