Yes, I've heard a number of rumors about 1.6 Meg 3.5" drives.  As you
probably know, the Mac uses double sided, double density disk drives yielding
.8M of storage.  The rumor was that new drives will be coming out which will
use quadruple density formatting for 1.6M.  This is credible because
	1) Some PC machines use quad density (I believe) to get about 1.2-1.4
	   Megs per disk.  Since the Mac uses variable drive speed to get
	   more storage on each disk, you would expect it to get a little more
	   than the PCs.
	2) The Integrated Woz Machine (the IC that controls the disk drives)
	   is socketed in the MacII (and maybe in the SE).  Apple doesn't
	   normally socket chips, so they likely plan on upgrading the IWM.
I wouldn't hold my breath, but I expect to see 1.6M drives eventually.
