Next month we will be releasing pen drives in capacities up to 1GB. http://www.zytech.com.au/usb/pen/index.html And the latest in the RAM market some commentary - China's latest back-to-school purchasing wave has stirred the long-slumbering PC market. Demand for the for the newest models have caused DDR (double data rate) module demand in China's clone market to skyrocket. In a time when channel stocks have been very thin, the China demand has sent prices soaring. To worsen the issue most major fabs are having yield or supply line issues bringing their lines from SDRAM onto DDR so prices seem set to rise even further over July. Key issues include; · China back to school demand sends DDR prices soaring. · SDRAM prices expected to follow DDR trend. · FABS struggling to meet DDR demand After a period of general stability or reduction, SDRAM prices are headed north sucked along by DDR and in response to reduced production capacity as fabs move to DDR.

Advert: 5-10% off Seagate announcement
This week we're at both ends of the data storage spectrum. At long last Seagate have announced their twin disk 120GB Barracuda V drive. We'll be bringing you updates and further information on this drive over the next month or so. We do not expect to see this drive in Australia until August. Further info is below. -- From super high tech to absolute low tech ... you might not be aware but Zytech does stock USB floppy disk drives. These units are bus powered and will plug in and run on both a Mac or PC. Buy one this week and take 5% off the price. Buy a USB Floppy Drive and any other item from our website (regardless of price) and take 10% off the floppy drive price - that's just $114.30 for the floppy drive. Just note WAMUG 5-10% off in the special comments field as you check out, and we'll apply the discount at invoicing. http://www.zytech.com.au/usb/fdd/index.html --- Our new USB Pen (Memory) Drives are also now on the site and these will be shipping as of this weekend. Pricing is $89 for the 64MB unit and $149 for the 128MB model. http://www.zytech.com.au/usb/pen/index.html --- SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. June 24, 2002 Seagate today launched the Barracuda ATA V disc drive, introducing the most advanced data-density ever: it's the first hard drive to achieve 120 Gbytes using only two discs, giving Seagate a significant technology advantage in high-performance PC storage. Barracuda ATA V will also offer a native Serial ATA interface a faster, simpler, more intelligent technology designed to replace today's Parallel ATA hard drive interface. Barracuda ATA V will begin shipping next month with the Ultra ATA/100 interface; the native Serial ATA option will be available this fall. Barracuda ATA V builds on the proven technology of its extremely successful and reliable predecessor, Barracuda ATA IV today's leading 7,200-rpm product. Virtually any PC application will benefit from the increased performance offered by 7,200-rpm disc drives. Mainstream applications see performance boosts of as much as 44 percent, PCs boot faster and load applications faster, and users perform everyday tasks faster. Barracuda ATA V has the world's fastest PC hard drive internal transfer rate at up to 570 Mbits per second, and a 9-msec seek time. The Ultra ATA/100 version features a 2-Mbyte cache, and the Serial ATA version will sport an 8-Mbyte cache, the largest on any PC hard drive. Seagate's patented SoftSonic Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor makes the fast 7,200-rpm Barracuda ATA V almost too quiet to hear, using the same technology that made Barracuda ATA IV the first virtually silent PC drive. Seagate invented the FDB motor for hard drives and has shipped more than all other drive makers combined. And with Seagate's exclusive 3D Defense System, Barracuda ATA V offers the best combination of performance, quiet operation and ruggedness. In the fall, Barracuda ATA V will feature native Serial ATA technology. Seagate's native technology enables Serial ATA's full 150-Mbytes-per-second transfer speed and adds no excess components or slow overhead to reduce performance. By contrast, Serial ATA bridge architectures must translate Parallel data streams into Serial data streams and back again and may be limited by the speed of the Parallel ATA controller on the drive. In addition to fast 150-Mbyte-per-second data transfers, the new Serial ATA interface offer features that improve design capabilities for PC makers: intelligent data handling, hot plug capability, a point-to-point connection from the drive to the host without the need for master/slave jumper settings, and thinner, longer cables with snap-in connectors that simplify installation, improve overall system dynamics and enable innovative small form-factor designs. Serial ATA will provide easier and better connectivity, much greater system expandability, and better data reliability with 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Checking protection on command data as well as data on the bus. Its speed, intelligence and simplicity will enable a future of data-intensive and entertainment-heavy content delivered via PCs, home network hubs and Consumer Electronics devices.

[CommPost:] 60GB FireWire $359
This week we're offering probably the best special of the year - $359 60GB Pyro external FireWire drive with Seagate Barracuda IV and Oxford 911 bridge. This special is exclusive to our mail/news list and is available until Friday 7 June (or until we sell out) ... no accounts, no rainchecks ... sorry it's first in on this one! This product is not on our website so if you'd like to order please just respond to this offer by return email. ... and while we're at it some brief background on FireWire and USB 2.0. USB 2.0 uptake has been very slow although there is a spate of new products coming out of Taiwan and some PC's are now coming through with USB 2.0 on the board. Obviously Intel (and no doubt Microsoft) will be pushing it hard over the next several months and there will be a large number of people that blindly follow. However, they are going to need to confront FireWire on 2 fronts. Firstly, the acceptance of FireWire (or IEEE 1394) as a high-speed data bus is now almost complete. Certainly the standard has existed on Apple product for several years but most importantly the momentum for its wide acceptance in the PC market is now dangerously close for Intel/Microsoft. This week Computex is being held in Taipei. I've been to Computex before and trying to find Mac product there is almost impossible. However, this year will be different as there will be an entire FireWire hall! Quite simply the Taiwanese producers, who are essentially the people who make or break potential products or standards for the PC industry have embraced FireWire absolutely and of course the whole standard is further supported by Sony's commitment to FireWire ... they just haven't got around to getting the name right (and even this one day may change, especially as the 1394 Trade Association has just officially adopted both the FireWire name and logo in a no-fee licencing deal with Apple.) Market research firm In-Stat/MDR predicts that FireWire will be included on more than 64 million personal computers and nearly 100 million digital devices by the end of this year. - MacCentral Even with flash card technology, if you use a FireWire card reader/writer you can partition the card (or 1GB IBM Microdrive) just as you would a normal hard drive and even boot your computer from the flash card. Secondly, as Intel try to popularise USB 2.0 as a direct competitor to FireWire, they will be battling not just FireWire but FireWire B which pretty much doubles the throughput of both FireWire A and USB 2.0. So they'll be trying to push a new high-speed standard whose direct competitor is twice as fast . it will be interesting to see the spin they use for this one. If you thought FireWire B was a long way off, think again. This month Macpower, who build our FireCube/IceCube and FireStar enclosures are releasing FireWire B enclosures - Macpower's new line of SuperWire(TM) enclosure products will combine the raw firepower of 800Mbps 1394B FireWire and 480Mbps USB2.0 to provide the ultimate high-speed data streaming solution for the next generation external data storage products. The new Oxford UF922 chip is based on their wildly successful OXFW911 - the 1394 bridge chip integrated into more than half of all external storage devices. The 922 is optimized for asynchronous application and is the ideal choice for PC or MAC external storage solution. With FireWire B product coming to market this month, how long will it be before we see FireWire B on a Mac? Is there anyone at Apple listening who might like to let us in on a secret? Certainly you can bet if FireWire B peripherals are now coming out of Taiwan, FireWire B PCI cards, cardbus adapters, etc, etc are very close behind. It is interesting though with the 922 chipset, Oxford are hedging their bets on FireWire B vs USB 2.0. The greatest problem now for FireWire is acceptance from the major hard drive companies. Sony and Yamaha have already announced plans for native FireWire CD-ROM drives but until the likes of Seagate and IBM join the fray, we are stuck with using 7200 RPM drives. It's ironic that only a few years ago, it was the Mac platform that was the dominant users of SCSI drives. I know personally SCSI product was held back in development by Seagate as they couldn't see its application beyond the Mac market. Now that Apple has effectively dropped SCSI, it has become the standard for the high-end PC market with drives spinning at up to 15000 RPM. .. and the FireWire proponents have yet to convince Seagate, etc that these high-end drives should be developed as native FireWire interfaces. So there's still the opportunity for faster data storage ahead using existing technology. With the possibility of super-fast native FireWire hard drives and a likely spread of FireWire also as a high-speed networking standard (which is another story entirely) we can expect not only the growth of the FireWire standard but some great new high performance products.

Back to our normal 3 specials - 1. 60GB Pyro FireWire hard drive $399 2. 80GB Pyro FireWire hard drive $449 Both drives use the 7200RPM, almost silent Barracuda IV drives - http://www.zytech.com.au/firewire/drives/pyro/index.html 3. We have ONE only iBot Pro FireWire camera for $349 (normally $399). You can order on the site, just mark the special comments WAMUG $349 ... first in - http://www.zytech.com.au/cameras/ibot/index.html And a memory update - It is contract negoitiation time and everyone has already seen the sudden price increase of 48% that happened on Monday 13th May. A major earthquake in Taiwan has caused significant fab damage and prices are expected to spike during buying day of thursday 16 May. How far will this price spike raise price and is this that start of another major series of prices rises? Remember it is Q2 which is the traditional down season worldwide for the PC market. But any way you look at it prices are up and will continue to rise over at least week 20 and week 21. In particular it is likely that there will be a shortage of SDRAM parts relative to DDR availability over the balance of this Q as more fabs convert SD lines to DDR while crossover of motherboard sales still lag. Key issues include - · Contract price to world major PC makers in being set this week. · Earthquake hit Taiwan fabs · SDRAM Shortage likely · Channel stock very low causing very sudden price reactions · DRAM market expected to leap 78% in second half 2002 SDRAM - UP Fabs stop supply, raise prices prior contract negotiations. Earthquake causes price spike. Very low channel stocks have created a hyper reative market (monday morning prices dropping 10%, monday afteroon prices rise 48%!) Likely shortage of SD as DDR takeup in market still lags.

More specials next Monday. and ... the current RAM situation a very interesting update courtesy of Legend Technologies - It is usual to expect price to fall during March as it is year end for Japan who usually quit all memory stock. As Japan has all but exited the DRAM market, this traditional year end effect is not seen. Instead contract prices to major PC companies continue to rise with spot market prices being bouyed upward despite relatively soft demand. Notebook memory prices continue aggressive price rise. Market confusion on DDR standards. Rambus sales fall. Key issues include; Contract price to world major PC makers still increasing. Memory is now 9% of total PC value if your PC has 256M installed Spot marlet demand slow but prices still drifting upwards. Hynix, Micron, Samsung Infineon refuse any sales to traders. Commentary; Despite a soft market prices continue their rise due to tight control of supply by chip fabs. In particular traders have been excluded from the chips fabs customer lists and all product is now only supplied to the major PC assembler or through official distributors. This supply control has seen name brand modules disappear from the spot market to be replaced by a vast array of no name products generally the product of low end taiwanese fabs or dud stock clearances. Memory as a portion of the total PC has grown dramatically during the last three months. October 2001 saw the memory portion of the complete PC at a historic low of 1% of total value. Assuming 256M that portion has now risen to nearly 10%. This trend is likely to see more makers moving standard memory down to 128M in the short term with the attendant likely increase in sales of aftermarket memory upgrades.

CommPost: RAM discounts
This week we have another RAM special - 512MB RAM modules for PowerBook G3 Pismo (FireWire) at $389. The web price on these modules is $463 so you save $74 per module. (Limited numbers only.) When ordering just insert WAMUG special in the special comments field and you will only be billed $389. You'll see below that RAM pricing is still trending upwards! http://www.zytech.com.au/memory/index.html A reminder about our $599 February FireWire sale - 80GB FireCube (Barracuda) external FireWire hard drive 30GB FireStar portable 2.5 FireWire hard drive 32x LaCie FireWire/USB burner The new 32x LaCie burners started shipping last week. One of the lucky recipients was my son Scott who had this to say about the burner - The LaCie burner is excellent - most CDs take 40sec. OSX Toast converts mp3s to AIFF on the fly which means it takes less than 3min to burn a complete CD from Mp3s it used to take over 30min to encode etc. It's awsome On the RAM front here is some commentary from our suppliers - Concerns that Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Micron Technology Inc. and Hynix Semiconductor Inc., the DRAM makers focusing on the contract market, will fall short of DRAM chip supply to their customers in February, have been confirmed. Given the strain on supply, Samsung and its peers reached an agreement with their customers to scale up the 128MB SDRAM contract price, a rise of between 20 percent and 30 percent. This rise stirred up the value of the DRAM spot price again. However, the appreciation was not as strong as had been expected, probably because retailers unloaded their inventories onto the spot market for cash needed ahead of the long Lunar New Year holidays. The DRAM spot price is likely to continue to rise, as the world's leading computer companies, including Compaq Computer, Dell Computer and IBM, are having a problem acquiring sufficient DRAM chips on the contract market. They are actively searching for DRAM chips and memory modules on the spot market. A chipmaker said that it was not clear that the real demand for DRAM chips justified these frantic purchases by leading computer companies. Nevertheless, their behavior has guaranteed that DRAM demand will exceed supply in the first quarter, resulting in a gradual rise in prices. Anticipating this development, some DRAM chipmakers have started to slow the pace of delivery in the hope of exploiting higher unit prices in February, thereby bringing them faster to the break-even point.

CommPost: Digital Camera/Flash Memory Offer
FUJI digital cameras: As normal we look at all the competing products and offer on the Zytech site the product that we feel offers the best combination of quality and dollar value. and the Fuji FinePix cameras are simply brilliant! and yes they are made in Japan, not China, India or elsewhere. Under OS X they mount on the desktop (like a hard drive) without the need for loading any driver software. Alternatively, iPhoto also sees the Fuji cameras directly (without the need for any other drivers or software) and you can import (and erase the camera memory if you wish) with a click of the mouse. These are probably the most Mac-like cameras we've seen. The controls are easy and intuitive, there's a QuickStart guide, Mac image editing software (if you need it!), a 16MB SmartMedia card, all the cameras in the range use the same controls and setup and the auto camera functions work flawlessly. We've tried many cameras and the Fuji FinePix are a joy to use. For full details and ordering go to - http://www.zytech.com.au/cameras/fuji/index.html 5% OFF Special Offer: This week's exclusive mail list offer is a 5% discount on any Fuji camera order.

[CommPost:] FREE courier delivery!
Several clients have requested information on RAM pricing so here is the current situation we've just reduced pricing on most modules although some increased. The bad news is there is a price increase today from our Australian manufacturer (Legend) and we have been advised to expect to see almost daily price increases of 5% over the next 1-2 weeks. Bottom line is if you want some RAM buy it today! We currently have 256MB Legend RAM for G3 G4 desktops at $72 - http://www.zytech.com.au/memory/ram.html We have now transitioned 100% of our RAM supplies to Legend in Australia and US Modular in the USA. Both are quality manufacturers and only use the highest quality chips such as Micron, Hynix (formerly Hyundai and recently purchased by Micron), NEC and Samsung. Expect to pay a slight premium but both suppliers produce a first rate product. All comments on RAM pricing and sourcing - as always - are very welcome. After much demand we have added a Mac USB 2 port PCI card for $38. They are in stock and will be on the webpage shortly. This week's exclusive mail list offer is FREE freight on our 80GB FireCube FireWire hard drive - http://www.zytech.com.au/memory/ram.html Price is $671 inc GST; to take advantage of the FREE freight offer just add WAMUG SPECIAL into the special comments field. This offer expires Friday 14 December. This week we will be launching our Zytech Affiliate programme so that website owners including Mac groups, resellers, organisations, etc can earn income from their clients or members purchasing Zytech product. In particular this programme has been put together to benefit User Groups and commercial providers the opportunity to partner with us and earn some extra cash that can be ploughed back into providing member services. This is an Australian programme and will be run by the same people that do the Qantas Telstra Visa programme. Watch the website this week for more details or simply send a return email. By the way the Zytech store will be open right through the Christmas period but obviously there will be no outbound freight on the normal public holidays.

[CommPost:] Closeout special CompactFlash
We have a final runout on 100GB FireCube hard drives at $699 + freight .. first in, first served. You will need to order by email as we have replaced this drive with the new 120GB model for $834 - http://www.zytech.com.au/firewire/drives/firecube/firecube.html If you follow this link you'll also see new pricing on the 60GB FireCube $560 and 80GB FireCube $671. Remember we only use the premium, superfast, super quiet Barracuda IV Seagate drives in these models. We have delayed the introduction of the 160GB model until the Mac OS can see capacities over 132GB. I'll switch to education corner now one of the neatest (and the very cheapest) products we are stocking (excuse the Christmas pun) is a $10 PC Card (PCMCIA) adapter for CompactFlash - http://www.zytech.com.au/memory/cfadapter/index.html You take a CompactFlash card from your digital camera, MP-3 player, etc, click it into the adapter and load it instantly into the PC Card slot on your laptop. The alternative of course is one of our range of USB or FireWire card readers but if you are using a laptop forget Zip disks, etc just grab a $10 CF adapter and make the almost indestructible CompactFlash cards your new floppy disk. OK ... the bad news; OS X does not yet support PC Card storage devices but this is slated for an upcoming OS X update. In the meantime there's a wet'n'dirty OS X driver at - http://pccardata.sourceforge.net/ Thankyou to Garner Annett at Apple for keeping us up-to-date on this issue.

CommPost: New Zytech site specials
We have a brand new site this week with all our new products added. There are CompactFlash PC card adapters for $10 80GB FireCube ext FW drive at $699 A Mac 1.3 megapixel digital camera at $320 (with CF slot) FireWire desktop cameras A FireWire scanner FireWire memory card readers Microsoft Office v.X (taking orders now - ships 5 December) 128MB premium CompactFlash cards for just $145 Unfortunately RAM prices continue to soar with some modules increasing 100% last week. Prices are likely to remain high for several weeks but I doubt if we'll see prices ever get back to the levels we had up to a week ago. Most chip manufacturers were selling their product at a loss so expect the market to stabilise over the next few weeks and more sustainable pricing to eventually be reached. If you are wondering why we chose Ritek's Ridata memory cards as our preferred memory cards, take a read of this extensive performance review at - http://www.zytech.com.au/memory/flashmemory/index.html There are numerous cheapo cards about that are typically produced in China but even amongst the better known brands you'll be absolutely amazed at the difference in performance in these cards. We were about to list Sandisk (where a lot of my friends from SyQuest days wound up ... sorry guys) as the preferred option and include their quite expensive ultra flash cards but the Ridata cards overall beat everybody, even the ultra cards! By the way one of the added FireWire support features of OS X 10.1.1 update was a fix for the Oxford 911 compatibility problem introduced with 10.1. We're not exactly sure if Apple's fix for this problem is 100% as we have already updated the Oxford 911 Firmware on all our hard drive products. Any comments on this issue are welcome. As usual there is excellent reporting on the issue at Mike Breeden's xlr8yourmac pages http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/OS_X_10.1/os_x_10_1_1_feedback.html If you are on the list in error or wish no longer to receive these updates simply reply with Remove in the subject line - THANKS!
