I have no connection w/ SmartDisk/VST, except as recipient of their PR, but since SM took over VST, I suspect the whole FW exp. bay line is on the way out the door, esp. as Apple no longer build media bay PBs anymore. MCE has this market wrapped up, I'd say. The Zip is where VST made most their sales. Apple was an original investor, but I don't know if they retain any shares in SD.
