Your Zip specs (11.2 MB/sec) are beyond whacked out. You got these from the planet Uranus. Here are some real numbers:

"The 200MB system uses Fuji's ATOMM (advanced super-thin layer and high-output metal media) technology. Sony will manufacture the drive, which will offer data transfer rates of 3.6MB per second, or 58 times faster than a 3.5-inch floppy, 2.5 times faster than the fastest Iomega Zip drives and 5.7 times faster than the fastest Imation LS-120 superdisk drives, said Jeff Ash, director of marketing for Fuji, which co-developed the technology."

Cheeky,

Can you give me the link of the spec?

1) 11.2Mb/sec doesn't not neccessary translate to 1.4MB/sec.

2) AFAIK Burst rate usually refer to the buffer-to-host speed.
Sony's Max is refer to maximum sustained DTR, different.
