   I recently purchased a Sony SMO-S501-11 Magneto Optical Drive at a
computer surplus sale and have been successful in getting my Adaptec
AHA-1542-CF controller to recognize it on bootup.
   However, before I try to get the drive operational by configuring
ASPIDISK.SYS, I would like to have a storage cartridge in place.
   Therefore, I need info on the removable media cartridges for this
MOD: such as type; capacity; source, etc.
   Please cc via E-mail any and all responses.

Thanks,

Check out Corporate Systems Center www.corpsys.com.  They are having a
half off sale on all mo cartridges. If it's not mentioned on their web
site, give them a call.  The sale is mentioned in their current
catalog.   I just picked up some 650 meg 1024 byte/sector Verbatim
cartridges for $22.50 each.   I also have one of those old Sony drives
with an adaptec scsi card and am able to use the 1024 byte/sector
cartridges.  Win 95 reports 318 meg per side.  The 512 byte/sector
cartridges formatted out to 295 meg per side.
