>>I have read a lot of talk here about how SYQT is such a small player now, and how you can't compair it with IOM. It was only about 3 years ago that the rolls were reversed and IOM was a nobody, untill they came out with 1 great product (the Zip). No one at this point knows if the new SYQT drive will be the product to turn them around or not yet.<< Richard - A very big difference between the two situations is that Zip drives have always been sold at a decent profit, and Zip disks have always been sold at an extremely high profit. SparQ and SyJet drives are probably being sold at a loss, and certainly the margin can't be that great on SparQ disks. Maybe a little better for SyJet disks. How are they going to ramp production while they continue to bleed money? - Allen
