>>Zip= old technology. It is very expensive $/MB compared to most other drives out there. The best bargain is, of course, SyQuest SparQ, but this is beside the point.

The point is, Sony is coming. Iomega is justifiably worried, and Iomaniacs who blissfully sing the praises of Zip while staring upwards in the coming rainstorm will drown.<<

Rocky -

Again with the "Zip is old technology" line. Sony's proposed HiFD device is a floppy-based design, you know. So is LS-120, which is actually an older design than Zip.

SparQ is just a scaled down SyJet, with one less set of heads and cheaper parts. And SyJet, of course, is just a copy of the Jaz design.
