>>I would think the OEM's would talk to IBM before signing up with IOM.<< Here's the real beauty of it all: IBM needs no OEM's. Because the IBM hard disc would fit directly into existing PC card slots, no OEM's for internal installation are required (or desired). Assuming one can get the same performance from a PC card interface, it would not be desirable to have the disc reside inside. ' Remember that Vapor! camera convention photo that showed the drive sitting on a desk with a cable leading into a tower computer's PC card slot? Good. Now, picture that without anything cluttering up your desk. The only thing you see is the computer. Now you have the IBM solution. The whole thing fits inside the PC Card interface. No mess, No clutter. Also, 500MB in one unit is a hell of a lot more convenient than in 40MB increments-- Especially if one is recording video and audio. Portable Devices that incorporate sound, still pictures, video, and data altogether are the wave of the future. This calls for the need for big storage solutions. The 500MB IBM disc drive would be large enough to record almost 7 1/2 minutes of MPEG video/audio. One Vapor! disc? 33 seconds. Then reload. Then reload. Then reload. Then reload.
