OD is dead due to cost, performance and reliablity problems. But how about the new 3.5 Erasible OD? Their speed is much faster than the origional OD and no caddy is need to hold the disk. As a matter of fact, they look nothing too different from the 3.5" Floppy ones. And I was told that Taiwan is going to mass-produce such disk for under $10/disk. For 128 Megs per side of one disk and the comparable cost, shouldn't it be a reason to dust out the current 2.8 Meg FD like the new CD-ROM did to the old sad OD? Gary
