Brier Technology, 2363 Bering Drive, San Jose, CA 95131, 408/435-8463 has an
entirely magnetic (not optical) drive that puts 20 Mb formatted on a special
3.5" floppy.  It can read "IBM formatted floppy disks," whatever that means:
720, 1.44, 2.88?  They will soon have one also able to write "IBM formatted
floppy disks."

Brier, Sony, Insite and maybe a few others are trying to get a high density
floppy standard promulgated.
