"I was just told by Mirror Technologies that their 600 Meg eraseable optical
"drive has an average access time of 50 ms and a maximum access time of 66.7 ms
"and that they sell for only about $3500.  Now, this sounds too good to be true.
"Has anyone had any experience with these people and their product?

What I find even more appealing is the new 3 1/2" optical from Pinnacle
Micro for only $2995 and 40 ms access time. That's about what my first
(AT) hard disk had. The disks hold either 133 meg or 126 meg depending
upon how you format "the drive." 

See page 105 in the August MacWorld for the rest of the info.

Pinnacle Micro is in Irvine CA (800-553-7070). For me that's a few
miles away, so I'm going to look into it.
