Does anyone know the dates of the PC EXPO? (See below) Thanks - Emory From a section of Computer Shopper titled PC EXPO REFERENCE Bottom of page 463 and top of page 464: Removable Hard Drives A wholly different category of removable storage is the hard drive supplement, with capacities measured in gigabytes -- as with SyQuest Technology's 1GB SparQ and Iomega's Jaz 2GB drives -- and performance that's comparable to a hard drive. Pushing the envelope for this category is SyQuest's new $599 Quest drive, which is expected to debut around show time. The Quest offers the unheard-of-capacity for removable drives of 4.7GB along with blazing performance, thanks in part to technologies like MR heads and an Ultra Wide SCSI interface that have been limited to fixed hard drives until now. Also expected around show time is Castlewood Systems' Orb. The Orb also uses MR heads and will come in Ultra SCSI, EIDE and parallel-port versions. Its 2.2GB capacity disks will list for $29.95, costing just 1.4 cents per megabyte. Castlewood expects the Orb drive to sell for about $200, doubling the capacity that's currently available at this price.
