Andy, peak detection is fine. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You said...

For IOM, just look their JAZ, seems deeply in trouble. Jaz uses "peak detection" for reading and writing data while the industry has moved to PRML(digital technology). In order to compatible to JAZ, Jaz two Giga seems like to be "Peak detection" too. This old technology has no future and can not support high density recording.

What detection method is used has no bearing on the commercial
success of JAZ or any other data storage product. Once the data
rate/density objective is set, the design process concentrates
on assuring the manufacturer's error rate goal is met.
If the goal can be met with peak detection, implementation
may actually be a little cheaper. The manufacturer will select
an appropriate data detection method after considering
design targets. A poster on the SI Iomega thread has little
chance of improving on that design.
