>>new $2,498 Sony VAIO PCV-E205 computers that are coming out with NO ROOM in their little towers FOR EVEN ADDING A ZIP DRIVE! They run at 333 Mhz and come with a 5X DVD-ROM drive and only have 2 free PCI slots...<< The Sony VAIO in question can easily handle a Sony HiFi 200MB drive. You see, the VAIO comes with a Standard Floppy Drive, which can be swapped out with a 200MB Sony HiFi drive. The Sony HiFi drive can read and write Standard floppies, so NO compatibility will be lost (unlike the proprietary-only Zip): ita.sel.sony.com Looks like Iomega is being forced out of the equation. First, the iMac, now the VAIO-- the NetPC;s are obviously going to be very short on size and space-leaving Iomega out in the cold. *What's more, is that Sony is also preparing the base for its upcoming DVD-RAM drives that were shown at the PC Expo. These re-writable 3 Gig DVD drives will also migrate quickly into Sony VAIO's, taking a huge chunk out of Jaz.
