The "floptical" drive is made by Insite Peripherals in San
Jose.  You can reach them at (408) 946-8080.  

The drive is a 5.25" drive that will read and write to either
a standard magnetic floppy (3.5" & 5.25") or a 3.5" optical
foppy that looks like a 3.5" standard floppy.  The optical
floppy stores 21Mb.
