Nibbles from SPARC History and storage history

In 2002 Zycko was an advertiser in the SPARC Product Directory
and our sister site STORAGEsearch.com

In those days there was a high markup on GBICs, SFPs and XFPs
and Zycko aimed to capture a significant part of the European
market for these products with aggressive pricing.
