omega's Zip Drive "Graduates" To Dell's Corporate PCs (03/02/98; 3:41 p.m. EST) By Gregory Quick, Computer Retail Week Iomega has gained its first system OEM partner with the agreement by Dell to place Iomega's Zip drive in its OptiPlex line of corporate PCs. Roy, Utah-based Iomega has made strong inroads into the retail PC side of the market, but this is its first agreement with an OEM to use the 100-megabyte Zip drives in a system targeted directly at corporate users. "Building the Zip drive into Dell's corporate PC line is a significant move forward for Iomega," said Fara Yale, a mass storage analyst with the market researcher Dataquest, in San Jose, Calif. An Iomega spokeswoman said the company expects to enlist additional PC manufacturers to offer the Zip drive in PCs designed for the corporate marketplace. According to the company, Iomega has sold 12 million Zip drives to date.
