Some time ago I heard somone mention somthing called flopticals (or 
something similar), which is a combination of a magnetic and optical
media. The capacity was mentioned to be 20mb (even more later) with 
access time as harddisks a few years ago, and normal 3.5" floppy 
package.

I haven't heard anything about it since, so if anyone could point
me to articles, tests, or even pruduct information I would be most
gratefull.

Thanks,

Niels
