William, you said >> GMR is not competing with DLT/NFR.<< That's true. Just compare capacities and access speeds. Just like the introduction of MR heads 6 years ago paved the way to higher data density without increasing the number of heads and disks, so will GMR enable the whole DD industry to stay on the curve. Without advances like that we would see a limit to areal density increases soon. Jim Porter, CEO of Disk/Trend said at an IEEE meeting 6/10/97 that the most popular drives are 2-3 GB now, and will be 10-20 GB by 2000. Cost per MB is expected to be about 2 cents by then. Obviously (from reading your posts) YOU understand all that. I am hoping that you're not the only one reading this post. <G> GM
