thank you for doing it. the title looked bad given iomega's depressed prices. BTW this is the response i got from noname when i e-mailed them about them pirating iomega's disks. they've got to lose this case given the fact that iomega has proven that de disks are incompatible. how can the court allow a company to sell something to the public that might not work and might cause damage? didier POLET wrote: > > FWD>Questions sur www.nomai.fr 97-09-13 06:12:19 > > Thank you for your comment. > > It has been a rule in the computer industry that compatible product appear when success is established. > > This was the case for the PC .

We have been producing compatible media to the leading removable drive company since 1993. We entered the market with SyQuest compatible media.
