<<I wonder if some people aren't getting the wrong idea--this isn't a competing disk, just Sony bragging about the use of the technology, although I'm sure that licensed 200MB disks will be marketed under the Fuji name, as is currently the case with 100MB disks.>> Brent - As I read the announcements - that is exactly what I think it is - a competing drive that will use a 200MB disk as well as read/write to the old floppy. I don't think this is a competing drive--they're announcing, at least in my opinion, the use of the technology in IOM's 200MB disks--at least that's my take. I guess we'll have to wait and see. . . If this is a competing product, the I'd better sell my calls because IOM won't be going anywhere for quite a while. . . Just a thought--doesn't make much sense to announce the disks, if you don't have the drive. If, like you say, this is a competing product, then are they announcing cloned disks for IOMs 200MB drive (kind of early for that don't you think) or are they announcing the disks for another, as-of-yet unannounced drive that they or someone else is going to manufacture? Just doesn't make much sense unless it's interpreted as a product for IOM.
