Was it full frame or four thirds?

My mistake in not providing a more elaborate explaination. The plan WAS that
DB options would be available all the way to a projected 2.2Mpix. We were
aware at that time that development had already stated to attempt to get the
Mpix count to somewhere nearer that level although at that time, it wasn't
2.2 yet. You're absolutely right about that. The DB that was featured in the
OM-5 was a 2.2Mpix mockup. There were no labels to mark it as such but I do
remember it to be that.
During then Olympus was already very close to launching the commercially
available (but I think it was only for the JDM) Vectis VC-1000, which was
the company's first digital camera supported by a diskette drive, if I'm not
mistaken.
Hope that clears things up a little. My fault.
