I have been talking to Brown Disk and have gotten the following
information...
Several Engineers (I guess from Dysan) started Brown with Dysan's blessing
and initial seed money..
For the most part, they had their own technology (but if they were from
Dysan, it would obviously be similar)
They are specializing in high-density disks, in fact the Dysan disk for the
IBM-PC-AT is actually a Brown disk,,,
They do NOT make 8" disks anddont plan to..
The sold 16.5 Million, thats right Million disks (I dont know what size) to
Apple last year... At least that is what the local rep told me, and she had
gotten that number from a couple of different sources... so she was quite
sure that it was correct...
Their prices are VERY reasonable...
(1000 qty 3.5" disks cost $3.00 each)
And they are NOT having money problems...
BTW,, the general opinion about Dysan is that their money problems are due
to the 3.25" disk blunder...
