- Some time ago I heard somone mention somthing called flopticals (or
- something similar), which is a combination of a magnetic and optical
- media. The capacity was mentioned to be 20mb (even more later) with
- access time as harddisks a few years ago, and normal 3.5" floppy
- package.
-
- I haven't heard anything about it since, so if anyone could point
- me to articles, tests, or even pruduct information I would be most
- gratefull.
-
- Thanks,
-
