Re: Notebook Zip
Rocky, you posted: >>>Somehow I don't think the invention of a $350 100MB Zip drive is progress nor does it help Iomega's efforts to install it in a great many laptops. The price is outrageous.<<<
While I would agree that $350 is a lot to pay to add a Zip to your notebook, it doesn't appear the boxmakers are all that concerned. If the demand is there, the market research has been done, and the OEMs are backing the product, then sales will follow. Here's a sample of just the initial support Iomega has received for its notebook Zip:
______________________________

The notebook Zip drive will be available as an option in Hewlett-Packard's high-quality, low-cost line of OmniBook notebooks. The notebook Zip drive will also be available in notebook computers manufactured by Acer, Clevo, Compal, Chicony, Hitachi, IBM, Micron, NEC and Siemens Nixdorf.
