Senthil; To each his own but you didn't read all those reports, Who is in BED with who..you wait until you see them push Ls-120 you will be just like IOM..a little to late..she didn't kiss up to the right people..the writing is on the wall. SuperDisk drives are available in the standard one-inch (25.4-mm) form factor for desktop computers, as well as the standard half-inch (12.7-mm) slim-height version for PC notebooks. All SuperDisk drives are backward-compatible, allowing users to read from and write to their existing 3.5-inch floppies. The SuperDisk diskette has the same shape and size as the standard 1.44-Mbyte 3.5-inch diskette, yet allows users to store up to 120 Mbytes of data. ------------------------------------ That type compatiblity will get attention, Just how good it will be for IMN I'm not really sure.. as Mitsubishi makes the SuperDisk Drive , but I think IMN got a deal on the disks, that's not clear to me..but what is clear is SuperDisk is here..fit's into laptops,.lets you use your 1.44s..and got support were it counts. I like the zip think it's just great..have owned this stock, but Im not going down with the ship..and this one is sinking. Lead hell..I remember when C-64 commodres and Apple IIs had the lead..the PC junor was cloned , ( then orphaned by IBM ) I was one of the early clone box builders..before there was a Compaq or DELL or Gateway..I remember well how Tandy took the lead..but never held it. I was putting the 1.2 floppies in old 8088 so they could port stuff to the new 286s, before the FCC approved the controlers..and when others said it wouldn't work..I remember when no-one would think Lotus could lose her lead ..hey this is tech..and things change, Leaders can get eaten alive...I remember IBMs big dive too.. And I'm telling you the superdisk is going to blow IOM away. Thats a fact. Jim
