If you truly believe that, then I wish you had been to my yard sale
about two months ago. I was finally selling my two Superdisk (LS-120)
drives. Yes, these are the same drives that were developed by Iomega,
at the same time they were working on the 100 MB Zip drives. Iomega
eventually spun off the 120 MB Superdisk drives to 3M, and released the
Zip 100 themselves. 3M spun the project off to form Imation, and both
formats competed in the marketplace.
Despite the fact that the Superdisk drives held 20% more space,
despite the fact that motherboard manufacturers built support for them
into their BIOS as a bootable option, and DESPITE the fact that the
SuperDisk drives would read and write to a standard 3.5" floppy as
well, the Zip 100 won the battle.
