It connects to the SCSI port and each disk can hold 25MB of unformatted memory (20.8MB of formatted memory). It will sell for about $500 Does anyone know of this drive (beta testers or what not) or any similar drives? Reliability, availability? I called them (408-727-8484) and a technical dude told me I'd get a call on Monday. He quoted 65 ms access time. Maybe we can get an internal floptical, next to the ordinary floppy. It would be great for backing up my hard drive. I guess I'll find out about the price of each disk on Monday. If anyone's interested, I'll post that info.
