PNCL just announced a Rewritable CD Drive. The news reads in part:

"Pinnacle Micro, Inc. (Nasdaq: PNCL) today announced its new rewritable
CD drive which functions as a 6X reader, 2X recorder and 2X rewriter. The
RCDW226 plays all standard CD-ROMS, records to write-once CD-R discs and
as a rewritable drive records to the new CD-ReWritable (CD-R/W) media.
These new discs can be read by other rewritable CD drives as well as
CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives with "multi-read" modes.

"The rewritable RCDW226 is an important addition to Pinnacle's CD storage
line," said James Hanley, general manager of strategic products. "We have
expanded the market for recordable CDs by adding 'rewrite' technology so
the same CD can be used many times, and we have included Disc Archive 97
which we believe to be the only 32-bit backup utility that supports
rewritable CDs with 2:1 compression."

Can someone here tell me if and how this may impact Jazz drives? Will
PNCL's RCDW226 kill IOM's Jazz in the marketplace, or are the two products
complementary? TIA.
