>>I'm just trying to decide the worst-case influence from Sony's HiFD.<<

Your assumption is by no means "worst-case." Let's examine another possible scenario.

Sony HiFi ships July 1, 1998. However, the Sony marketing blitz starts 2 months prior, as well as the chance to pre-order the drive in every PC catalog, retail stores, and numerous web sites. As a result of people pre-ordering HiFi , retail Zip sales decline 20% in June. Within 2 months after HiFi's rollout, retail Zip sales have declined by 50%. Since most of Iomega's money is made by selling retail Zip drives and discs, Iomega and its delicate stock price at a PE of 20 finds itself in a world of shi...excuse me...Shinola.

Just another possible scenario.
