Ken >> If it is as cost effective as a floppy, it's a no lose proposition from the PC box makers standpoint. They can just drop this drive in instead of the floppy, and BINGO! <<

I agree with your concern.

Even if it is cost effective as floppy (both the drive and media), all box makers will still bundle a floppy on every non-NetPC/NC machine they sell for another 1 to 2 years. Floppy is still a must for now.

>> Sony WILL sell these drives at a loss to gain this market. <<

I can't comment on this because too early to tell.

>> FACT: Iomega is running out of time <<

Yes, both Sony and Iomega are racing against time now, especially true to IOM. If Zip lost the battle, IOM will lost most of its value too. Sony OTOH is in a more relax mode since fail to kill Zip will not have any significant negative effect on Sony.

Good Luck
