Kodak brought their new system for us to look at a couple of months ago.
It uses 3" disks I believe. From the info the salesman presented, (He
didn't understand my questions), I figured that it has to be stored
analog also. They have a pretty neat system - complete with modem
picture transfer & fancy software for a PC. Told him they ought to have
it hooked to an Amiga. He didn't know what an Amiga was either.
