In the Computex Taipei's newspaper, there are articles on IOMG and LS-120.
The followings are quotes from the sidebar:
Zip Drive, A potential standard purely by dint of market share, Iomega's sub-US$200 drive uses Bernoulli technology and Winchester heads to store up to 100MB on $19 magnetic disk cartridges.
Super floopy, Manufacturer Mitsumi of Japan is touting this 3.5" 128 MB drive as suitable for notebooks because of its small size. The drive based on magnetic head technology, will also be compatible with 1.44 and 720KB 3.5 inch floppies. Mitsumi might take advantage of its position as a major supplier of CD-ROM drives to push a CD-ROM/Super floopy combination to system builders. The JPN company has already squeezed portotype "super floppy" drives into 15mm high format, and, potentially, the two technologies could be combined in the same unit. Still to be assigned a name, Mitsumi expects the first drive to be available in the second quarter of the year, at a volume price of US$130.

We'll see when it comes out, what the specs are, and what the price is. Very late to the game. Vapor is always scarier than reality, just like the LS120, just like th ez.
