Toko; <<Quinta may porivately be researching NFR, but their stated technology is OAW (optically assisted winchester) which uses optics to help record at high densities, but is not the NFR effect.>> You are quite right to point out the difference in nomenclature between these two competing technologies. In fact I understand that that they are trademarked by the respective organizations touting them. <<Qntm would keep an equity position and be the second manufacturing source for the drives.>> I assume this puts MKE in the picture inasmuch as QNTM doesn't currently manufacture? Any suppositions about which version of the technology is superior or will win the race? Best, Stitch
