Found these quotes interesting,from Business Wire & Poincast:
"Toshiba is one of the leading manufacturers of notebook peripheral drives," said Edward D. Briscoe, president, personal storage division, Iomega Corporation. "Their decision to manufacture and market slimline Zip drives is a powerful endorsement of Iomega's Zip drive technology and market momentum. With this agreement, we form a pivotal marketing and manufacturing alliance with Toshiba that can deliver innovative and low-cost Zip solutions for years to come."
To date, Iomega's slimline Zip(R) drive has almost exclusively been used for notebook applications. Now, the slimline Zip drive will become available for other external and integrated PC applications beyond notebooks, as well as beyond traditional PC applications like stand-alone set-top boxes, game systems, and audio and medical devices, that can leverage a smaller profile Zip drive.
"Taking into account the mass market appeal of the Zip drive to both the end user and OEM, and after careful evaluation of Zip drive technology compared to other high-capacity storage technologies, the Zip drive licensing agreement is the next logical step to strengthen our worldwide product offerings for today and tomorrow," said Toshiba Corporation.
