Iomega to Shrink Disks for Portable
by John Poultney
from the February 1997 issue of Australian MacUser magazine
Iomega is spinning a new scheme for portable storage: 20MB floppy disks roughly half the size of business cards. The company has shown prototypes at Comdex/Fall in Las Vegas.
The new N*hand disks will measure 48mm square and will incorporate floating read-write heads, much like Iomega’s Zip drives.
Positioning the products as OEM devices for portable electronics, Iomega said it envisions N*hand competing with flash-memory PC cards, such as those used in digital cameras.
