ROY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 13, 1998--Iomega Corporation
(NYSE:IOM.N) and Fujitsu PC Corporation (FPC), the seventh largest
notebook manufacturer in the US market, today announced that modular
notebook Zip drives will be bundled as a standard feature into the new
retail line of the popular LifeBook notebook computers. With the
LifeBook 270Dx and the LifeBook 280Dx, Fujitsu PC Corporation is
bundling Iomega's removable Zip drive into their retail line of
notebook computers, offering consumers unlimited capacity to save,
back up, transport and store files.
"High capacity, multimedia storage that is removable is becoming
a necessity in today's computing environments. Iomega's Zip drive is
a cost-effective and leading-edge solution to address our customers
needs," said Sara Nelson, senior manager of product marketing for FPC.
"Zip gives our users the ability to maximize and back-up today's
popular applications."
Iomega's notebook Zip drive uses highly durable Iomega genuine
Zip100MB disks -- offering 70 times the capacity of traditional floppy
disks. In addition, with more than 12 million Zip drives sold,
consumers can conveniently share information with friends, family,
colleagues and business partners. Iomega's notebook Zip drives offer a
complete solution, with software utilities such as Zip Tools that
allow users to initialize, write-protect and format disks, as well as
test and repair them. Also included is Iomega's 1-Step Backup software
for quick and easy backup from your hard drive to your Zip drive and
RecordIt software that enables customers to capture, record and save
live or pre-recorded music and voice audio for up to eight hours on
one genuine Zip 100MB disk.
"FPC's forward-thinking decision to include Iomega modular
notebook Zip drives in their new retail line of LifeBook notebooks
offers customers desktop performance and high-capacity removable
storage in a value notebook," said Andy Grolnick, general manager of
Zip OEM at Iomega. "Mobile customers expect the leading technologies
to be included with the purchase of their computer. They expect it to
replicate desktop capabilities and notebook Zip makes that a reality."
Iomega notebook Zip drives are already offered as a standard or
optional feature by many notebook computer manufacturers, including
Acer, Compal, Chicony, Clevo, Hitachi, IBM, NEC and Siemens Nixdorf.
The notebook Zip drive is also available from CNF Technologies for
