<<<<<<<<As far as this rumored >$199 2GB single platter Jaz product " ORB KILLER " am I to assume it wouldn't be backward compatible with the 1GB disks. Just curious as I don't believe that compatibility at the high end is as important. Opinions ?>>>>>>

I don't think they will be compatible with existing Jaz 1 or 2 drive and will not read the disks either. From what I understand the new single-platter media is much more scaleable up, i.e. 2g-4g-6g-8g-10g where as the existing jaz media is supposedly maxed out in capacity.
