Gus, what would "Cousin Eddie" do with something like this? 5774311 : Small core magnetic head with non-magnetic side support INVENTORS: Gooch; Beverley R., Sunnyvale, CA ASSIGNEES: Ampex Corporation, Redwood City, CA ISSUED: June 30, 1998 FILED: Mar. 24, 1997 SERIAL NUMBER: 822884 ABSTRACT: A head having very low leakage flux loss since the head is constructed with a very small elongate magnetic intercore, having a winding window formed therein if desired, with the intercore being supported on either side by non-magnetic side support blocks. The side support blocks enable mounting of the head to the usual style of head block and provide the physical structure and size necessary for formation of a low wear head profile, if desired.

Absolutely Correct :-( nothing new, but how about this little buried tidbit: Reduced expense levels (of R&D) are largely attributable to the Company's keepered media development program, which was substantially completed in 1997. No more KM R&D needed because its ready; just need a buyer, but at the same time Ampex spent $2.9M on Micronet R&D. Is there a possibility that Ampex is working on a combined RAID/DST system for video that is incorporating KM?? Maybe I'm just grasping for straws, but in these dog-days of summer it beats watching the grass wilt. Sal
