- I read in a magazine yesterday about a new (?) disk for IBM's.
- It is the size of a 3.5" disk, but optical, so the TPI is
- somewhere over 1000. It stores 21MB of data, and each disk costs
- about $25. The drives are standard size 3.5" drives and can
- read/write to 720K. 1.44meg, and 21meg Floptical disks. All for
- about $500. Is this new? Does it work? Does anyone have one?
-
- Thanks.
