Hi,

I have an MO230 (Magneto Optical 230 mb) drive that I don't need anymore.
It takes 230 and 128 mb disks.  Under Openstep and I believe NeXTStep 3.3
it can read and write in Macintosh format.  On the mac of course it does
the same.  Unlike on the Mac, you can just plug it into a NeXTStep machine
and it works.  I have the drivers for Mac OS 7-8 to make it work on a 
macintosh with SCSI.

I used this for some years to archive data.  Now everyone uses CDs instead.

Someone NeXT-related might like it since the CD-RW options are limited on 
Openstep and friends.

I have the scsi-ii cable that makes it work.  The drive is a small external
unit with a power supply.  It was made by Mitsubishi.

Oh there are a bunch of MO disks that come with it.

I live in the Silicon Valley.  Make me an offer.

Thomas
