Workstation Solutions sells a 5.25" optical disk system. The model number is
OFS600E. It uses standard SCSI interface and can be used as a bootable
device. The capacity is 637MB but that's kind of misleading because each side
of the disk holds 297MB and you have to flip the disk in order to use the
other side. In other word, you can't have 637MB at the same time. The list
price is $5450 for a complete system and the disk is $250.
