There have been several inquiries and complaints posted recently about
availability of optical media for the NeXT. My own disk space crisis was
nicely resolved yesterday with the arrival of a couple of double-sided Canon
ODs from Brad Gulko, who has posted a note or two here. The disks cost $182
each plus a few dollars for shipping, insurance, and packing, and arrived
in around a week (spanning the New Year holiday). This compares quite
favorably with the $135 I paid for a single-sided OD from Businessland in
November. Both sides of both of the new ODs initialized with no problems
at all.
Details can be had from:

An amusing note: the information pamphlet which Canon provides in the plastic
case warns that ODs are strategic goods subject to COCOM export controls.
Strange that I didn't see this warning on any of the rack full of 8mm video
tapes over at the local Wherehouse!
