What is the basis for the 35% gross margin assumption on DLT? Is that from their filings somewhere?

Secondly, a 35% gross margin on DLT implies a very costly manufacturing process (at least $1500 per drive). Doesn't that imply that QNTM could be very exposed to new technologies with cheaper manufacturing costs (e.g. new DAT technologies), since they can't reduce their drive prices that much?
