[comp.sys.mac] Availability of flopticals?

mcdonald@fornax.UUCP (Ken Mcdonald) (02/10/90)

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.
