Manufacturing/Quality Control thoughts...

If there have been manufacturing difficulties (and whether this is the case, only the OEMs know for sure--we have anecdotes here but all the box makers continue to offer Zips either standard or as an option. We also have the benefit of Reseller's experience to date), wouldn't one solution be to turn the drive production over to the licensees who supposedly have much more experience in making precision devices in mass quantities? Couldn't the licensees make there own deal with OEMs, i.e., we don't want IOM zips but we'll take yours [I can't remember the licensee names, but I know they're big-time manufacturers]? Wasn't that part of the licensee agreement, i.e., that IOM could benefit from the manufacturing processes developed by the licensees?

Does anyone have a handle on this?
