RE: Updated Iomega Statistics Page I've finally updated the Iomega Statistics page on my web site: bible-reading.com It's been updated for quite a while, but I had to reload several different pieces of software on my computer (because of a crash--with backups of only my documents) before I could convert it to a web page. - Michael Coley - bible-reading.com

>>> Special Report: Better Backups -- No more excuses-it's easier than ever to back up your data. <<< Snip : High-Capacity Floppies. Several companies currently-or will soon-offer inexpensive (less than $100) drives that use disks with 120MB or more of storage, but are as easy to use as floppies. Imation's SuperDisk accepts both 120MB and conventional 1.44MB diskettes. Caleb Technology recently introduced its UHD144, which stores up to 144MB of data on a single diskette. The drive is the same size as a standard floppy drive, installs easily and accepts standard floppies. Sony and TEAC have also promised high-capacity floppies, but their 200MB capacity HiFD drives were unavailable at press time. High-capacity floppy drives are good for limited backups of a modest amount of data or a small app. But the devices use proprietary formats, so their diskettes aren't interchangeable. They're also slow-preliminary performance tests of the SuperDisk have yielded less impressive results than those for similar removable media, such as Zip drives. Removable Media Drives. Iomega's Zip drive is the standard bearer in this category. Zip cartridges, slightly larger than 1.44MB floppies, have proved very reliable in our tests. Once challenged by the now-defunct SyQuest, Iomega remains the leader in removable storage, with devices ranging from 100MB Zip drives up to 2GB Jaz units. techweb.com Nothing new perhaps but this adds to Iomega's credibility .
