SCSI CD burners are getting hard to come by, especially in CD-RW. But CD-R only drives in slower speeds (8x or less) go fairly cheap on eBay. I want a SCSI CD-RW with some style of buffer underrun protection to install in my 7300/200. SCSI Zip 100 drives are cheap but at times, 100meg can get a bit small. There are other removable drives that are faster and larger capacity but not as common as the Zip. SyQuest drives and media go for nearly throwaway prices on eBay. Magneto Optical drives and media can be bought nearly as cheap. Best all around on the MO style is a Fujitsu 640 meg 3.5" or a 320 meg for quite a bit less. The 1" tall MO drives could be fitted in place of a Mac's floppy drive. I just checked and the Duo Dock's floppy slot is thick enough to pass an MO disk. Fujitsu claims that most of their 640meg 3.5" MO drives are not Mac compatable. I can't see why not, they're SCSI. 'Course my 640 is in my PC and I use a Fujitsu 320 in an external case for the Macs. The Basilisk II 68k Mac emulator works fine with the 640 in the PC. ===== "Your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missile!"
