All - News item re: Beefed up notebook from Dell, featuring optional LS-120. nt.excite.com The LS-120 is an optional device to put into the modular bay. I know that two Inspirion notebooks from Dell do support Zip drives in the modular bays, but I don't know if this one will as well. I don't like seeing Dell offering LS-120s. This is not good news. One can't expect to eliminate all competition, but Dell has been a pretty big supporter of Zip. What we'll want to watch is how well the modular LS-120 sells as an option, in comparison to Zip. I just don't know how we can reliably track that. - Allen

As usual Dale your posts are most informative, thanks for the reply. Message 6804947 I didn't want to get ahead of the issue so I waited until the quarter was in the bank before commenting further on possible acquisitions of certain SyQuest properties. It's been two months and there hasn't been any word whatsoever about the disposition of SyQuest. This is hugely controlled and tight lipped, if nothing else you have to give them credit for keeping things under raps. If someone else was in play they would have wanted ( and I believe the court would have granted ) the promotion of their products over the holiday season. The viability of their products is critical for any reasonable chance of success. The minimum that I would have expected is a leak indicating future support and production by " xyz company " This alone leads me to believe that there isn't anyone willing to take on the product line and that the company will be broken up. I could be wrong but, if so, someone has made major blunders by allowing the destruction of credibility, particularly with the SparQ product. It didn't take long for Glore to establish a favorable relations with main street wall street with SSB initiating coverage did it. The others are sure to take note and with a good quarter coming we should see more coverage. I feel real comfortable with management, their control of the issues has been nothing short of impressive. Looking forward to the conference call. Regards Reseller
