As a reseller, I wonder if you've seen this phenomenon. On some of the storage related newsgroups, people are lamenting the fact that they tried to insert a Standard Floppy into an internal Zip drive. The result are bent read/write heads. The drives are now unusable and have to be returned to Iomega for repair. Since the majority of Zip drives are now going to OEM's, don't you think that this snafu could very well hurt the bottom line as many unfamiliar users blindly try and put floppies into that slot on their new top of the line Compaq? Turns out, Zip's floppy-INcompatibility has hurt more than their designs to be the floppy replacement-- it actually hurts Zip drives physically as well! Way To Go Iomega! Yet another brilliant engineering feat right alongside the remarkably badly-designed Zip Plus!
