Years ago I used quite a few of the 1.3GB 5.25" MO disks, a few

push that technology further.

For
a while (back in the 600 Mbyte/cart era) I was a big fan of the 5.25" magneto
optical
carts but CD-R and DVD-R is so easy that I have a hard time going back.
I thought those things were great as well, but the WORM/MO people
never really managed to get their standards nailed down - some disks
and some drives did not like each other *some* of the time.
