Re: Zip drives used in video games. Thanks for the links, jackson. The specs on the second article definitely seem very Zip-like, and I recall some talk of something like this a while back (over a year ago, anyways...) but never heard anything further. Maybe the concept isn't dead, but I am surprised that Iomega hasn't discussed and/or kept us up to date on this. The other possibility, of course, is that the drive in question is not by Iomega. Oh, one last thought.... I am surprised they are still only 64Mb. Could it be that they keep it smaller to limit access time? -M

jackson- wow?! We went down this road last year based on a picture. hmmm... for those who didn't click the link: << By the time Dural is done , it will be able to push 1.5 million triangles per second , have a 640480 high-res ( oh , N64 does too ! ) , a 12x cd-rom ( oh , 64DD has a 6x ZIP drive and rewitable functions* ) , and possibly a modem ( oh , what do ya now , 64DD does too !! ) << What the heck is a 6x Zip drive? (apologies for the TYPOS in my previous, pre-caffine, post. yes, it's Clik!, not Click! and the name of the magazine is Popular Science, etc... )
