Optical Drives for Iris'

[Brent L. Bates AAD/TAB MS294 x42854]

   You said 1024 bytes/sector is not filesystem compatible----yet!
How long until it is?  How long until the ZCAV media is available?
If Sony doesn't support this media, who else is making the MO drives.
As far as I have seen Sony is the only one making them.  Buying a
drive from SGI at twice the cost everyone else sells it for doesn't
sound appeling either.
   We are looking at buying a MO drive shortly after our 4D/210VGX
arrives, which hopefully will only be a few months from now.
