<The fact of the matter is that when Iomega releases the 200/100 MB unit then the 200MB mode will also be twice as fast given a doubling of bit density.> Fred, good point. Doubling Zip's speed by doubling the density is a given. It would surprise me if IOM just let it go at that. The fact is, Sony only added no significant real speed improvement over the eventual Zip-200 , and they have had 3 years and mega R&D bucks since Zip-100 came out. Tsk Tsk. Sony is pathetic. Yes, they say they want to be the new floppy, but what else could they say? "We want to annoy the market with our also-ran super-floppy, too"
