I recently saw an add for a SCSI disk drive called a "Floptical Drive."

Although the add gave the name of a US driver manufacturer as the maker,
the ad was placed by a distributor located in West Germany.  (I don't
recall the names of either company; and I didn't purchase that issue of
whatever magazine it was)

The ad said that it stored 20Meg on a laser etched 3.5 inch floppy disk.
(removable media; aprox $20 US per diskette)

Does anyone know more about this drive? Perhaps a US based distributor?

Thanks in advance.
