<<This is probably the greatest risk for the Orb product. Investments are huge and part costs are high since per wafer head yields are typically low on the front end. The risk for Orb is that they are obviously forward pricing the drive since the volume production is the only way to make a profit at their price point. It will take time and cash for Orb to get to volume.... >> that's true. Orb is built on a house of loans - Syquest was built similar relative to addtl. share authorization. Orb is being financed by some Asian banks which have little current room.
