Hope you all read the Nomai release carefully...

>Iomega's incompatibility claim is based on tests which Iomega performed upon early hand-made, pre-automated, pre-production cartridges built by Nomai. These tests were also conducted using Zip notebook drives which were just recently released during Comdex Fall this past November. These new notebook drives contain a light baffle which rejects Nomai cartridges.<<<<<<

Please note the last sentence. Nomai needs to fight Iomega in court and they need to try and be "forward compatible", which is most difficult.

I can see their packaging listing all of the Iomega drives that their disks won't work in. A marketeer's dream!
