Was on Intel thread and linked to Umax site which was selling out a batch of sub $1000 Pentium PCs. Went to their site and noticed that all their PC configurations are sold with Iomega Zips as a STANDARD inclusion. Or you can add/substitute Jaz or Ditto for price differences. Below is part of my post to main Intel thread about this. I don't think we were aware of this. Umax makes scanners and was a Mac Clone maker. To: Paul Engel (46643 ) From: David S. Wednesday, Jan 28 1998 6:46PM EST Reply # of 46647 Paul, Umax systems come with Iomega Zip drives as a STANDARD (internal ATAPI) in all their systems. Funny they don't mention it in their listing until you look at the specifications. They apparently cater to the graphics intensive crowd and if you don't want a Zip you can get a Jaz or Ditto drive instead (also Iomega). They also include Adobe software packages bundled as standard. I'm currently shopping for a PentiumII based system to migrate to. Have done all my stuff on Macs for last few years and am wondering how to bring over files especially MacDrawPro files. Got about $2K to spend. You, anyone can suggest good configuration/vendor? Really pleased that Intel and Techs are finally rolling again. I think the pent up bonus and pension funds are now being put to work after the worse of the Asia scare has subsided. The relative performance of the .25 micron P-IIs vs. .35 micron P-IIs is quite impressive. AMD K6 and the Cytrix version will be CPU trash by the April price reductions. Then DOJ could be a problem.
