>>This is the move away from Fuji that I've been wanting.<<

Nice spin.

But please explain to me how the Zip drive, which was designed specifically to work with ATOMM-technology Fuji media, is supposed to work reliably without it?

Just wait till news of this hits Wall Street. No more real Zip discs. It's too bad that Iomega didn't even own the rights to its own media. What a loser business deal.

Also, just wait till Zip drives and media to start failing left and right while using the non-ATOMM Mitsubishi media. I should like to point out that I brought out this very issue a long time ago, and it was laughed aside. Now, it has come back to bite Iomaniacs in the butt. Sony/Teac/Fuji HiFD now has ATOMM tech. And Iomega won't.

"but the firm is also pushing
development of its own media in order to cut into the supply sourced from Fuji Photo Film."

The firm probably wouldn't change its film unless there are better quality and lower cost supplies available.

If a change in the film for the ZIP is carried out then my expectations would higher quality, lower costs, and a higher profit margin for IOM.
