>> I was just wondering... won't recordable CDs and DVDs replace zip and jazz drives? << It will reduce the need for jaz but won't replace it. At least not until we can find a DVD-RAM with sub-28ms access time. Possible but very costly. It has the potential to replace Floppy/Zip/LS-120/HiFD but this won't occur in the foreseeable future. Maybe until DVD-RAM becomes the standard equipment of all PC AND a low-cost (under $3) version of DVD writing media is available. Will it be a 2.5" DVD-RAM??? aC
