Has anyone here hear about the new floptical drive? 
I'm NOT talking about magento-optical/optical cartridge drives that've been around for a while.
What this is is a drive similar to Apple's SuperDrive in that it read/writes
floppy disks AND special 20MB floppies. I read about it in the back of a MacWorld mag and wondered if anyone could point me to the maker.  I'm especially interested if the drive can read 2.88Mb floppies - I'd like to get one for my NeXT.  

Any info would be helpful

please e-mail me as I do not read this group.
