Yes, the 11meg floppy is real. It's been in production since June 1989. The bad news is: NCR (a certain big and powerful company) has exclusive rights to test and use the JU3511. In another word, they HOG the whole project during the first year. Panasonic also would like to see how this product would fare through NCR first before releasing it to other OEMs & distributors. Last time I talked to the sales manager who handles the JU3511, he said I wouldn't see the drive anywhere else (except NCR) until July 1990. I can't even get my hands on any application manual for the drive and I WORK for the Panasonic disk drive division. ***** Disclaimer : Hey, don't quote me. I only work here *******************
