Citizen Watch Co is very proud of what it claims is the world’s thinnest – at 0.75 – 3.5 battery-driven floppy disk drive, called the UO series and announced in the US and Europe as well as in Japan: the thing is also claimed to be the shallowest floppy disk yet at 5.1, and light at 11.3 oz; there are two models, the UODC sporting track-to-track access time and the UODD with 6mS track-to-track; samples of each are about $1,500 sounds high – and Citizen is planning to make 200,000 of them a month; the ultra-thinness is achieved a side-swing carriage mechanism, a belt drive and a metal frame; Citizen sees the things tunring up in note-book sized personal computers and pocket word processors.
