Re: Sony HiFD David, I don't believe that Sony can come out with their drive at a cost in line with that of a Zip and a floppy combined. Besides, we're talking about the future here, who knows what the Zip will cost 6 months from now. Zip costs will continue dropping for a host of reasons, most notably, due to the benefits of increased volume manufacturing. BTW, how many are going to buy a HiFD external drive? I can't think of anyone who needs a backwards compatible external unit. The only reason to have one would be if there was a need for compatibility. It took Iomega quite some time to sell enough external Zips to create the demand for OEMs to include the drive in their boxes. Now here comes Sony, and they're going to convince these same folks that regardless of the lack of demand, their product is going to sell better than the Zip, and the LS-120 provides no indication of the real need for such a product. The check's in the mail... Regards - Dale
