Okay,
I remember the time where the MD-Data drive was introduced. At that time,
it was quite competing and a good alternative for the Zip Drive. But:

Original data MDs hold 160mb. The new MD-Data2 discs hold 650mb and are
currently being used in Sony's new "discam" camera. Old zips had a 100mb

MD-Data discs which can hold 650mb and which I assume to be quite fast.
Does anybody have any specs on these?

I'm a little concerned that we should be discussing "killing" Iomega to help
