David,

<So what's left on the horizon? >

This:

Iomega Feels Pressure To Modernize

techweb.com

<Smaller compact flash-format drives from IBM and the shift to higher-capacity magneto-resistive (MR) head technology drives are threatening Iomega's hegemony. >

<Iomega could leverage SyQuest's cheaper SparQ technology, which has almost twice the density per platter (1 GB vs 540 MB) as Jaz drives, Porter said. >

<Iomega plans to develop MR products, according to company executives. "We need to move to larger, faster drives," said Prasad Shroff, product marketing manager.

But new MR drives from Iomega would be incompatible with Jaz drives. That could force the company to abandon a format it is still trying to establish in the market.>
