In the January Macworld under the new products section there is mention of
Insite Model I325 Floptical Disk Drive.  It connects to the SCSI port and each
disk can hold 25MB of unformatted memory (20.8MB of formatted memory).  It will
sell for about $500

Does anyone know of this drive (beta testers or what not) or any similar
drives?  Reliability, availability?  I called them (408-727-8484) and a
technical dude told me I'd get a call on Monday.  He quoted 65 ms access time.
Maybe we can get an internal floptical, next to the ordinary floppy.  It would
be great for backing up my hard drive.  I guess I'll find out about the price
of each disk on Monday.  If anyone's interested, I'll post that info.
