1.8和1.3英寸驱动器的制造商们最近承认,继1992年后,1993年的驱动器需求量仍远远低于原来的预测,即使是最保守的预测.不过,他们仍然相信,今年最终将打开市场.最早开始生产1.8寸驱动器的Integral Peripherals公司总裁Sieve Volk说:“推出这种尺寸的驱动器,真是一场战斗.”“因为PCMCIA到1991年才产生,早期的驱动器则都是IDE兼容的.与IDE还是和PCMCIA兼容,产生了很多混乱.我们最初曾着力发展笔输入系统和小笔记本系统用硬盘,后来才意识到笔输入系统市场具有很大的局限性.”
Manufacturers of 1.8-inch and 1.3-inch drives recently admitted that, after 1992, the driver demand in 1993 was still far below the original forecast, even the most conservative forecast. However, they still believe that this year will eventually open the market. Sieve Volk, president of Integral Peripherals, which started production of 1.8-inch drives, said: “The launch of this size drive is really a battle.” “Because PCMCIA was only produced in 1991, early drives were IDE-compatible. The IDE is still compatible with PCMCIA and has caused a lot of confusion. We initially focused on developing pen input systems and hard drives for small notebook systems, and later realized that the pen input system market has a lot of limitations.”
