- The ZIP came out first and has a more marketable name. It also
- has a more convenient cartridge package (design).

- The EZ drive costs about the same, per MB, and is supposedly notably
- faster for both access and throughput. The ZIP is about as fast as a
- small HD, not at all bad for a removable, writable media.

- Had Iomega tooled up to meet the demand for the parr model, there would
