   So buy some MO drives. Magneto-Optical disks are removable and can store
about 300Mb/side.  You would use them like you would a regular magnetic disk,
directories and all.  On second thought that might be too expensive.  The last
firm price I heard for MO disks was about $200 each, however, I have heard
rumors of them being down to $100 each now, but nothing firm.
