Short Take: Toshiba to launch DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM drives in June
Early next month, Toshiba will begin commercial manufacture of DVD-ROM drives for sale to PC makers, with DVD-RAM drives to follow later in June. The company is in sales negotiations, according to Reuters. The expected June 25 launch of Microsoft's Windows 98 should give DVD a lift, as the OS upgrade includes support for the high-capacity storage technology.
