>>) (Iomega's) Low-cost (<$200) 2GB drive with MR heads. <<

I first heard about this last August in a published interview with Syed Iftikar, Boss of Castlewood. He mentioned Iomega was having a difficult time designing the drive. I will try to find the interview to find out what else he said about it. Bear in mind that this new drive will kill off the margins that Iomega was used to with Jaz.

>>2) Firewire/SCSI based, high speed, re-writeable optical drive in the >10GB range...<<

This would indeed be a good product... IF Iomega can introduce it AT OR BELOW the current DVD-RAM drive price. Iomega's optical drive will undoubtedly be a proprietary media (as keeping with Iomega arrogance), unable to work with the consortium Standard of DVD-RAM.
