Philip:

Thanks for the IDC article...

This bears repeating:

Due to its extremely large installed base, Iomega's Zip dominates the low end removable magnetic market. Iomega and its partners NEC, and MCI hold an estimated 86.2% share, which represents 9.9 million units at the close of 1998.

DC expects strong growth in the low end removable magnetic storage
market will continue in the year ahead. Low end drives now offer increased capacity, ease of use and large feature sets that will make it a popular choice for most desktop and mobile storage applications. Declining OEM prices will accelerate the adoption of this technology as a standard feature on more PCs.

Lipo -

Speaking of Zip as a standard feature on PCs, my latest PC Magazine has the usual multi-page ads from Dell.

There are six models listed in the group billed as "Dell Dimension Desktops for the Home." Six out of six come with Zip standard.

There are also Zips standard in two of the five "Desktops for Business" machines. And, of course, it's also possible to get an internal Zip for the Inspirion 7000 notebook.
