Steve, the report is from February, 6 months ago, so I would expect that Sandisk has taken care of this. Also, another report on that site robgalbraith.com doesn't talk very highly of the IBM microdrive.

WOW! your link was six months old?!? LOL Sandisk can make more money selling their own card than collecting royalty. TRUE...Boy, I guess you ARE on the ball. Congrats on being a learned student of SNDK. Steve, on a less sarcastic note, the real issue is SNDK becoming the de facto standard and the tornado that is approaching us. Recognition by analysts and the street would be nice also. Apple's OS may have been better than Windows, but WHO CARES? MSFT was first, the standard and clearly won the war. Having over 100 companies adopting a standard you invented seems to outweigh a read/write speed battle that only the highest end users can differentiate between. Now, being slower six months ago means little today, and I can tell you first hand that my two SNDK-made CF cards work perfectly each and every time I have used them. Finally, re-read your post one more time and see if you can understand why others interpreted it as over-dramatic. Jason W "if they are faster, does that mean they pay the ROYALTIES FASTER also?"
