in article <73003@sun.uucp>, swilson%thetone@Sun.COM (Scott Wilson) says:
|
| "The Optical Disk combines ... laser technology with ... Winchester
| (magnetic) technology."
|
| or:
|
| "The Optical Disk combines removability and reliability and ...
| read/write/erase capabilities ...."
|
| So either it's a hybrid of the two technologies or its just optical
| technology that has the same features as magnetic technology. Isn't
| English fun?
There's a detailed description of how this drive works in the November
Byte magazine. Sorry, I can't post it, but I think it's on BIX.
