Well, after suffering several of their rather expensive
drives die, I for one wasn't about to buy any more
of their product.  I haven't a clue about the Singapore
group and whether or not they ever produced any product
under the Micropolis label.  I have seen a number of
Micropolis drives (still in boxes) available at the
FootHill electronic flea market this summer.  I'm not
an authority but I don't think they were able to negotiate
the change to the smaller (3.5in.) factor.
