About 15 years ago, I acquired over a hundred magneto

for the Sony SMO S-501 along with a few drives. Since they are 295 MB
on each side (590 MB per media - only one side available at a time -
these are flippies), the DVD-R media at 4.7 GB are about 8 times the
capacity and 1/4 the thickness. So the magneto-optical can't compete
with the convenience of a DVD-R.
Depends on the MO media that you're using. Pinnacle Micro Apex
media, ISTR, is 4.7GB--and that's from the 90s.
Unfortunately, PMC in it's original version is no longer with us.
