I'll find out about that 8-track tape feature in the Sony computers this next Tuesday. That's the day I've arranged my schedule to go to the PC Expo here in NYC. I will try and bring something (Windows CE, D Camera) in order to get a test run out of Iomega's Vapor! drive. However, I have not made any plans on how to prevent the Vapor! drive from somehow corrupting the internal directories in my device. Neither have I decided on how to exactly handle a smoking, clicking Vapor! drive as it chews up a paltry 40MB capacity disc into little lead-contaminated shreds.

I will also make sure and see the Castlewood Orb drive. From recent photos I've seen from a Japanese Expo, it looks pretty cool- very different from as it appears on the Castlewood Website. Reports were that it was also running full-motion MPEG2 video without dropping any frames at that Expo, and a European one.

The Sony booth will also get a visit from me, as I get a firsthand look at the upcoming replacement for the floppy drive- Sony 200MB HiFi.
