Given the fact that the 1.44MB floppy is still in every
computer, I don't see why a widely install zipdrive can
easily be replaced by 200mb disk. In drive business, compatibility
is king.


Compatibility is indeed the reason for the survival of the traditional floppy, but Zip doesn't have a similar status. Zip is popular, but it's not a standard.

The main problem with Zip is that it is no longer competitive with other forms of storage on a price/MB basis. Quite simply, it is obsolescent. Where is the Zip II?
