Historical Data for Old Symbols

One of the reasons I signed up for MarketSmith is the availability of historical stock charts, and I haven't been disappointed. It has been an incredible advantage to be able to inspect the daily charts for stocks discussed in William O'Neill's books. Im curious to know, however, if chart data has been kept and is available for symbols that no longer exist. For instance, I'd like to study the daily chart of Iomega (IOM) from 1996, but the symbol isn't available in the MarketSmith tool. Is there a way to retrieve data for symbols like this?
