-- I just got my May 1991 issue of AmigaWorld. In their review section, they review three magneto/optical drives. The price of one of those caught my eye. Here's the quote: "Great Valley Products also offers a Ricoh drive that uses double-sided cartridges-in this case with 300 MB per side (286 MB when formatted). The Ricoh MO9200E ($1199) has an access time of 66.7 milliseconds, which is ^^^^^ quite acceptable for for this type of drive." Is this a typographical error? The other two drives, distributed by XYXIS Corporation and Active Curcuits, cost $3995 and $4995, respectively. The XYXIS system is built around a Ricoh engine, leading me to believe that someone at AmigaWhirled made an error. Next question: How much do cartridges for these drives cost? Send me email. I'll summarize to the net if there's any interest. ========================================================================== -- Frank McPherson INTERNET : emcphers@fox.cs.vt.edu -- -- AmigaUUCP : uunet!vtserf!morpheus!frank -- ==========================================================================
