"The 12.5" Zip came out about 1984, but it never caught on...." I think back then they talked in terms of a disk's radius, not diameter, so the 12.5" Zip was actually introduced sometiem in the 70's, had a capacity of 5 MB, and was called an RL02 (maybe the RL01 was the same size, I don't remember these so well, does anybody else?).

Tom, thanks for the clearification, I'm redfaced as I type this. :0) However, it seems to me that you got my drift. If the current laptop Zip is 15mm (I thought it was 12.7, however, I think your right,) the 12.5 should be coming now, they've been talking about it for a year. I have all but forgotten about the slimline version. Last I heard, they had a working model and the only thing holding them back was trying to make it small enough. Zead
