>>The reason Iomega is under pressure is that Syquest has regained technology leadership at the high end, and Sony is about to obsolete the Zip drive. Iomega can't produce a 2 Gig drive, while Syquest can make a 4.7 Gig drive for the same price.<< Pravin - Just in case you were unaware of these things, SyQuest's 4.7GB Quest drive is now expected to ship "in limited quantities" in April, according to their website. To claim that Iomega "can't produce a 2 Gig drive, while Syquest can make a 4.7 Gig drive for the same price" is to mis-state the facts. If you're going to give SyQuest and Sony credit for being able to ship products they have so far only announced, it would be fair to also assume that Iomega can. Expect Jaz2 to be on store shelves in quantity before the first Quest drive is out the door. Sony's HiFD is by no means a sure thing either. To date, I know of no one who claims even to have seen a fully functional prototype. Nice specs on that press release, though. - Allen
