E4 targets 60K Macs for DVD upgrade.............................. On another front, the first aftermarket Apple DVD-ROM drive maker, E4, plans to ship two DVD-ROM drives in June, said John Chan, director of product marketing. One industry source said Hitachi and Pioneer may also be developing DVD-ROM drives for the Apple market. E4's new drives, one internal and one external, are expected to cost about $500 each with an MPEG card. Both offer SCSI connectivity. E4's Cool DVD has an ESP of $499. Only Apple Power Macintosh G3 series computers with 16MB of RAM and Mac OS 8.1 can use the drives, Chan said. "There are 4 million Macs on the market that can handle DVD, and we believe we can get 1.5 percent of that market," said Chan. MacCenter, an Apple specialty store in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has seen growing interest in Macintosh products, said Mark Miller, the retailer's director of sales and marketing. "There has been a steady climb in sales, and what we are hearing for the first time is a buzz over the G3. This seems to indicate PC buyers are taking a second look at Apple," Miller said. Other vendors are also looking forward to a stronger Apple this year. "We are feeling more positive about Apple's future. Everyone has already gone through the 'Mac is dying,' stage to the 'Well maybe they are not going to die,' " said Patti Norris, senior product line manager for Umax scanners.

Video and Data. All-in-one boxes???????????????????????/ multichannel.com Weekly Edition for May 4, 1998: IP: Gotta Have It The dividing line between cable modems and digital-video set-tops is blurring, thanks in part to the newest and hottest acronym: IP, or Internet protocol. IP, a common language among bits, is the ticket to the industry's metamorphosis from video to a world resplendent with revenues from datacom, telephony and interactive, executives believe. IP is emerging as the "gotta have it" service that everybody wants. Leslie Ellis, Multichannel News' senior broadband editor, teleconferenced with four broadband executives to delve into the IP world: Steve Craddock, vice president of new media for Comcast Corp.; Tim Evard, president of Time Warner Cable's Road Runner high-speed-data service; David Fellows, who recently left MediaOne as its senior vice president of engineering; and Adam Grosser, vice president of product development for @Home Network. An edited transcript follows: MCN: It seems that this year's National Show is different than years past, because before, there were two distinct camps -- cable modems and digital set-tops. But this year, there seems to be a buzz about applications that will straddle both.
