Ken,

I agree with much of what you are saying. LS 120's technology is
based on the floptical technology Iomega sold to Compaq, 3M and
Matsushita.

My only concern is that March 12, 1996 issue of PC Magazine has
LS 120 at 15ms avg. access time and 4 Mbps transfer rate. This does
sound TOO Good ( and probably a mistake), but I cannot confirm that
it is a mistake.

As for the Jaz, I checked with ProMax and Micronet--two companies
repackaing Jaz--today, and they have them in stock in various
configurations. I also checked with a local CompUSA, and they are
still having problems keeping Zip and even Reveal Zip in stock. They
did have plenty of disks in stock. This bode well for their Q1
result.
