Some months ago there was some talk in the trade press about a company
called InSite that was working on some kind of optically-tracking
magnetic drive that would put 20MB on a 3.5 inch disk (with tracks
etched in by lasers).  Drive costs were to be ~$300, and disks ~$15
each.  At last report they were starting their beta testing, back in
April or May...

Originally the product was supposed to reach market around now, but
there doesn't seem to be any sign of it... does anyone know what
happened to these folks?  Any information on when these might become
available would be appreciated.
