Our department is looking for a high-capacity removeable media storage
device, with good reliability and a low cost per media cartridge. From
what I have hear, floptical drives (which use magnetic discs similar to
floppies, but with embedded optical tracks for tracking) would be ideal,
but I see none on the Macintosh market yet. Does anyone have any idea
when these will arrive?
Thanks for the help. Please reply by e-mail--due to the high volume of
this newsgroup, I can no longer read it. I will, however, mail summaries
to anyone who sends a request, and if there is sufficient interest, will
post a summary.
