Hello netland!!!

Has anyone purchased an ERASABLE optical disk drive for a Sun/2 or Sun/3
from a company called Alphatronix in Durham, NC?  I have the sales
literature in front of me and the system looks very attractive.  A single
drive for a Sun costs $11,900 and a dual drive costs $16,900.  Each disk
cartridge costs $250 and holds 594 Mbytes.  The company says its optical
drive systems have been at end user sites since August of '88.  I am
thinking of ordering a drive for our Sun so if anyone has had any
experience with either Alphatronix or their product, please let me know.

	NO, I am NOT connected with Alphatronix in any manner!!!
