Steve, the failure of LS-120 is because of its poor marketing. Backward compatibility reduced peripheral counts in a PC and grant LS-120 a $20 to $25 price advantage over Zip. But the problem is lack of a portable version in early release and not publicly available until recent (before we can only get it from Compaq like the 2.88MB from IBM) and with a relatively high price tag.

So far HiFD should have enough fundamental to be the next-gen floppy but we'll see how is it priced and market to the industry.
