HiFUD INCOMPATIBILITY! I just wanted to let everyone know that Sony's HiFUD is incompatible with everything (as of now - if you can't buy it, it's not exactly compatible is it?) What a joke, suspending shipments within weeks of product release. ita.sel.sony.com Sony used to make good products. I just returned one of their digital AV receivers because I had to unplug it every couple of days to reset its brain. Sony "Engineering"... What a laugh! Oh yeah, in the 4 years I've been using Zips, I've long formatted once and didn't really need to that time. E1

<<Zip250 INCOMPATIBILITY! I just heard that the Zip250 CANNOT Long Format a 100MB disk.... SO MUCH FOR BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY! >> you can long format the Zip250 disks - so go buy a 250 disk to long format. generally only technicians use this form, so if they wanted to long format a 100 disk (decode the data), they wouldn't waste their time; they'd just buy a new 250 disk. if they were looking to have all that fun and waste all that time they'd long format the 250.
