[unix-pc.general] How about an optical drive interface for the 7300.

For all you 7300/3B1 hardware hackers out there:

It sure would be nice to have a read/write magneto optical drive
interfaced to the 7300 like the NeXT has.  256 megabytes of user
data on a removeable cartridge the size of a 3 1/2" floppy would
be great.

Removeable cartridges that cost $50 each!  And slow.

I'd much rather have a tape drive and a reasonable speed hard disk.
