Dan, Here is the link to that article: usnews.com I note that the author of the article doesn't seem very well informed. She referred to the Jaz drive as costing $650. She's obviously referring to the Jaz2GB external and not the Jaz that retails for $299 external. As for HiFD, here's an interesting link that might shed some light on the whole subject: techweb.com >>The Teac HiFD drive was installed in a Sony Vaio system, but Biancrosso declined to demonstrate it and deferred all questions to senior executives.<< >>...rivals at last year's Comdex/Fall raised red flags when HiFD drives on the show floor were similarly present but not working. An attendant at Imation's booth questioned whether HiFD was meeting specification levels. The Teac staffers at Comdex/ Spring said the drives were fully functional, but refused to place disks in the drive. "We'll be ready for product reviews in July," Nguyen said. "At that time, the drive will run up to spec."<< Philip
