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.
