Travis/all, SmartMoney: Can Anything Catch The Zip? Dow Jones Newswires -- September 22, 1998 This story appears in the October issue of SmartMoney magazine. By Walter S. Mossberg [snip] But it may be too late for any product to supplant the Zip. Since millions of Zip drives have been sold, people feel comfortable saving their data to Zip disks, in the belief the disks will work in plenty of other PCs and that more and more new PCs will have Zip drives as standard equipment. By contrast, even a product with key advantages, like the SuperDisk's versatility, may falter on the catch-22 principle that there are too few of them out there to make them a universal standard.
