CR, Check out #8014. One of the statements is:

--Silicon Solution Alliances:
Texas Instruments will provide advanced read channels, DRAMs, pre-amplifier and motion control technologies for Iomega's personal storage product lines. These integrated silicon solutions provide Iomega with the necessary cost effective Mixed-Signal technology, which is important in achieving Iomega's price performance goals. Texas Instruments will also provide ASIC solutions for Iomega's Ditto tape family.--

Apparently TI brings the mixed mode (digital/analog) ASIC to the party for signal amplification. I think this ASIC makes the IMP programmable analog circuit obsolete.
