In the February issue of MacUser there is an ad for an Optical-magneto
read/write disk in the 700Mb range, without the magazine in front of me,
I can't remember the maker.  Also, I believe that MacinStor also carries
a optical-magneto disk as well.  (I could be wrong about that one, since
I recall it being large cartridges...but I can check again.)
