 I haven't heard about 20 Meg floppies....Do they use the barrium-ferrite
coating? If so, would it be possible to just retool the drives in current
machines?

 And where did you read about this? I get BYTE, but didn't see mentino in
the latest issue. *I'm* waiting for phase-change optical drives to hit
mainstram; which they should, with a vengeance. It's my personal hope that
NeXT will support these as a mass-storage medium....
