- There is only one brand of floptical(it is a registered trademark), the
- one made by Insite. I have one in my A2000 and love it. It is 3-4
- times faster than regular floppies.

- For those people that have them! Good news... I should be able to
- get the diskettes from 3M at a good price! Even better news! Maxell
- will be producing the disk(they are certifying them now) and plans to
- sell them at a list price of $21. This should bring the discounted
- end-user cost down to the $12-15 range in a few months. If you want
- some info, send me e-mail.
