>>>they can install the HiFi drive on all of their own boxes (in lieu of the 1.44MB floppy) automatically making it the standard drive.<<<

They're not going to install the HiFi drive "in lieu of the 1.44 MB floppy" for the same reason computer makers don't install the ZIP as a replacement for the floppy drive: A computer with a floppy drive would have a competitive advantage over a computer without a floppy drive. This is especially true when the replacement is a storage device -- like the HiFi drive -- that has no installed base.
