Actually, you can expect several 1 gig 3.5 inch drives to be announced by
the end of this year.  In fact, last week Micropolis announced a 1.2 gig
3.5 inch drive which supposedly will be sampling in the next quarter.
Others are supposed to be from Conners and Maxtor.  In addition, they also
transfer data much faster from the media, spinning at 4500 rpm or more.
