Does this mean IOM is trying to catch up to Orbs?

You are correct about JazII being more attractive to the commercial market. The cost of both the drive and media are too expensive for the consumer market.

I was informed that the production of JazII was terminated last June. There has been a program to rebuild all of the returned units. Production of the new single disk 2GB unit has started. My contact in Milpitas is current working on getting the production testing operational. All engineering effort is being placed on this program. When these drives hit the market the current Jaz products will fade into history. These drives are lower cosr and out perfom the current units.

I have been communicating with this group about the USB version of the new drive. I hope they have a FireWire version in the schedule but I have not been answered about this.

Iomega needs to sell as many of the remaining Jaz drives as they can before the new product is announced. Otherwise they will just sit on the shelf forever. That is why production of new units was terminated.
