[comp.periphs] optifloppy drives

eho@bogey.Princeton.EDU (Eric Y.W. Ho) (06/04/89)

Does anyone know any company are making optifloppy drives that can take
multiple optifloppies ?  The ones that I know only make drives that take 1
optifloppy.  It'll be interesting to see these sort of drives -- i.e. treating
1 optifloppy as a single partition and one can mount/umount any partition one
wants by simply inserting/ejecting an optifloppy.

HP has just announced one, the "6300/20GB" optical disc autochanger.  Holds
32 magneto-optic cartridges.  Interface is SCSI.  Your local HP sales
office should have information.
