Summary: 


I've been noticing ads in Dr. Dobb's Journal from Optotech, Inc. for an
optical disk drive.  To quote the ad :

    Optical Disk Drive 5984
    * 200 megabytes on a removable cartridge
    * Fast access read and _write_
    * For PCs and minis
    * Extensive interface software
    * Available Now

Does anyone know anything about this puppy?  Specifically, is it actually
using CD-type medium, does it really work, how fast is fast, etc.?

Thanx.
