NeXT MO disks

Snip! Not just that, I have a Kurata w/ 1GB flip rewriteable 5.25" MO. Actual drive in that thing is made by Panasonic and sold under Kurata, some of them were used by Corel. Evidence of that is on the rear panel sticker. Cartridges can be single sided 500MB or 1GB double sided, 500MB per side, flip it over for other side. FYI: If you have problem writing/read, split the casing and clean the media carefully, check (fish-filled) capacitors inside the drive itself. Mine has both problems and had to correct them. These panasonic (Double sided: LM-D702W, single sided has no W suffix) 1GB cartridges is shockingly expensive! Cartridges are still available new. Got these used, good cartridges to buy? That Kurata works under winblows without having driver installed except for the any type of scsi controllers. Easy to do in winblows but I wondered if I could support that drive on different OSes and Macs for example? Also it's very on-topic since this drive is 10 years old now. Snip Drool! That's what I love to have! Mine is slow and tiny 128K buffer. :-) What brand or models that uses this drive to look for that blazing fast sierra MO rewriteable drive? What about other makers that does make fast MO rewriteable drives? What about Fujitsu 640 and anything else larger than 1GB cartridge per side? I prefer MO over tape, magnetic media and floppies for backups and transfer large data. But the compatiablity on Kurata between winblows and non-winders is big question mark. Anybody to care to chip in with your experiences? Cheers, Wizard
