The drives that you have listed are not really what Andrew
was talking about. These are all PD drives rather than
true MO. The 650MB MOs are not yet out there (that I have
seen). I am also eagerly awaiting their arrival. They
should be a 3.5" form factor, and will be backwards
compatible with the 230MB (and possibly 128MB). It seems
like the drive companies have had enough time to develop
these (why can't R&D go any faster, they should double
capacities every 6 months!?!??), but, alas, they are not
here yet... Meanwhile, the 1GB magnetics (Jaz) are
stealing the thunder.
