Well, I did get my drive overnight from Pc Connection (NH, USA)...but they report a VERY HEAVY demand for the zip drives...the discs are IMPOSSIBLE to find even here in the US...I got 5 discs as they were just arriving and I was on the phone...the next day, no discs available at all... This is one very popular unit...the data transfer speeds, though, are somewhat disappointing...it is one very nice utilitarian device for a limited context...the 1.2 gig drive (out now?) also sounds interesting..what I am wondering is if there will be a 200 meg disc for the device (it is rumored)... -- Dr. Roger A.
