Has anyone purchased or seen the "floptical" disk drives reviewed
in the July Computer Shopper?  Do they work?  What sort of controller
is needed, or is that included?  Any compatablility problems with DOS?
Any prices?  The claim is that they can be used to store up to 20Meg
on an ordinary HD 3 1/4'' disk and that they are fairly inexpensive.
