Re: Production constraints I remember reading something similar to that also. I think it is the licensees (sp?) According to an IOM official at comdex or some other show prior, the two licensees were going to ramp up prduction in MASSIVE!! quantities. However, I thought they were going to focus on Canada and the Asian market (China), IF I recall correctly, and leave the US market to IOM. Any corrections to the above is welcome. Zead

Gary, the last reference I had regarding non-Iomega Zip manufacturing and capacity constraints came from the last CC where KE stated: >>>For past 18 mos., prod capacity hasn't been problem, it has been component availability. The new platforms help. NEC and MCI are planning to begin their ramp in early 98. Early in year MCI will have the capacity to produce 100 k/month and NEC 50 k/month. Don't know MCI has specific firm plans they will have the capacity to produce 500-750 per month by 3q or 4q. The big problem will be chip avail but that is a lot better now.<<< Regards - Dale
