>Maybe so, but their drive clearly shows an Iomega Zip disk inside.< Angier, exactly. They OEM the storage devices and do the custom packaging. It would tie Iomega in knots to have to design different SKUs for every laptop. Companies like VST are happy to do some pretty good, lower volume, high margin business solving these packaing problems. I think the VST drive retails at $349. They buy the drive from Iomega for $60-$70 (actually I take this back, not sure what the 15mm drive would sell for at this point in time) and give 20 points to the channel. Makes for a nice little business.
