- Does anyone have experience with Mac Products Magic 128Mb Turbo Epson
- Optical (3.5") drive? Their MOST-based mechanism got good reviews,
- but it has been discontinued (for now) in favor of this Epson-based
- unit. Epson mechanism spins faster (3600 RPM vs. 2400) and thus
- offers 50% higher data rates, also, the claimed MTBF is longer
- (150,000 hours for Epson vs. 100,000 hours for MOST). Comments, anyone?
