Sony/Fujitsu

I believe they want to introduce them around Feb next year. The price should be in the $200 range and the price should be around $20-25 per floppy. The great thing about this new superfloppy is it is way faster than the LS-120 and faster than the Zip. I think the 3.5 floppy will never disappear so the Sony/Fujitsu drive may become popular as it can read the 3.5 floppy unlike Zip.

Also Japanese products tend to go down in price plus the Yen is taking a beating making their products cheaper
