Hmm, my first ever floptical drive just landed on the doorstep amongst a pile of hardware. Never seen one before now, and it seems there's very little info on the web about the technology. I assume that although it'll (probably) read/write normal 3.5" floppy disks, it needs special media to reach the 21MB that I keep on seeing quoted in various places? (i.e. it can't reach that figure combining the optical tracking technology that it uses with standard magnetic media) (the drive's an Insite I 325VM, likely culled from an SGI I think) cheers Jules
