Ron and others,

I have read with interest (not on this board) the potential for the Imation SuperDrive. I am considering investing in IMN. Is the medical archiving side of the business generating the bulk of the current revenues?

Can any (seven of you??) give me an indication as to what percentages of revenues are currently derived from the SuperDrive and the medical archiving side of the business? Projected changes in expected revenues...as a result of SuperDrive sales....vrs. medical archiving sales etc.

Any other info regarding insider sales or buys, market penetration of the SuperDrives, the current breakdown of the 3M deal for 120 meg disks, etc. would be greatly appreciated. (Does IMN pay or get paid a percentage of sales to anyone for licensing rights?)

What would be a good target price range for entry into IMN?

My feel is that Iomega is feeling the presence of various new back-up technologies and is therefore launching a large European ad-campaign to stimulate sales of their devices.

Synchronously IMN has also commenced some heavy advertising domestically. I like the idea of the 120 meg media in the same format as the current 1.44 meg 3.5" disk and feel that this will catch on. Are there other manufacturers of the 120 meg disk and comparable drives?

Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Frank
