Rocky - Looks like Zip and Jaz will be antiques in 9 months. That's what you have been saying, isn't it? messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com Message is copied below: The industy is looking at eliminating the floppy from the PC. But it will not be replaced with either Zip, SuperDisk, HiFD, or anything else. It will be elimiated as an element in the BOX. The only removable media device will be either a CD or DVD device. The industy specification for this is called PC2000. It is being pushed by Microsoft and Intel. It will turn the PC into an WinTel version of iMac. They plan to depend on USB. There will be no drive bays available for internal versions of any storage devices. This will elimate the OEM market for companies like Iomega. The consumer will have to select his choice from the offering at the retail stores such as CompUSA. This specification has been circulating through the industy since last year. You can find articles about it in the electonic industy trade journals. Sorry to let air out of your theory about the OEMs puting Zip in their boxes as a replacment for the 1.44MB floppy. Col. S.
