	   Thank you. This reminded me about the Floptical drive by Insite 
	   Periphials. Has any one heard how they are doing? For a reminder
	   the Floptical was a 20 meg magnetic media with optical tracking
	   for accuracy, 3 1/2 disk form factor. They were working on a model
	   that was supposed to handle "standard" 3 1/2 disks also.

	   If you know, post a respose for all.

This drive was reviewed in Computer Shopper recently.  When I called
the company, they predicted its release sometime in the first quarter
of 91.  I can't wait.
