Quantum is in production of the Q200 series ProDrive (3.5") and are
taking sample orders for the Q425 ProDrive (yes boys and girls that
is 425 MegaBytes on a 3.5" winchester technology hard disk.) The
One of the June issues of EE Times had the press release from Quantum
in it. Between that and NEC showing a 64MBit DRAM chip it makes you
wonder what a "lunchbox" computer of the future will look like.
