Re: "Stiff competition for superfloppies"

FWIW - Here's an interesting article (which references SyQuest and SparQ) originally posted by Bill Hernandez on IOM thread:

<snip> "Analysts at International Data Corporation in Massachusetts say the market for superfloppy drives will grow. They expect the drives to be pre-installed in 60 per cent of all the PCs sold in 2000, and in 96 per cent in 2001, compared with just 8 per cent last year."

I think SyQuest is going to have a difficult time competing against Zip, LS-120 and HiFD for a piece of this market. In addition, Castlewood's Orb was not mentioned.
