This sounds pretty big.

The overriding question is willIomega make money off the IBM
Zip drives?

To all: The value of backwards compatibility illustrated. You've got to laugh at this! The following is from the Motley Fool Iomega Message Board.

<Subject: PP HiFD System Requirements
Date: Mon, Nov 30, 1998 11:48 EST

System Requirements printed on the PP HiFD box:

*IBM Compatible 486 DX/Pentium PC or higher
*8 MB / 16 MB RAM

*3.5" floppy drive

*Parallel port connector
*Windows95, Windows98, WindowsNT4.0, Windows3.x, MS-DOS / PC-DOS 5.0 or higher
*********************

*3.5" floppy drive required?>

Since HiFD's advantage over Zip is the ability to read regular floppies you would think they would have included a CD?? for installation?!?............ Go figure:)
