Yeah, ZIP is 100MB SCSI or parallel port interface, cheap media, and 1GB is 
their JAZZ product.

Check out Panasonic MO/CD-ROM technology also, but note data life of their 
MO is not proven yet, could be 30 years, could be 6 months.

Is this the Zip drive by Iomega?  I saw some at Platform and at
Laox two days ago.  I did not take a good look at it because I
wasn't interested at the time.  I seem to remember that it was 
cheaper than 50,000 yen.  This could be a different product.
