saw them for sale or people using them.
I have 2 or 3 drives, one from an IBM machine and one or two from 3Com
Netbuilders. I have probably a dozen or so disks, mostly from 3Com
software distributions.
The 20M floptical in the SGI Indy is like a tooth

riding a unicorn, I've seen pictures, but I've never actually seen one (or
the disks) in person.
I have a couple of those, too. They're prone to suffering from dust,
though. The biggest air intake on the front of an Indy is... guess

have some "samples".
