It sure seems odd that an optical only drive was marketed for Apple IIs
when magneto optical was the only thing close to that marketed for anything
else. I'd need to see Ricoh's specs on this mystery drive before I'd be
convinced that you're not talking magneto optical. The disk size is another
reason to suspect that, since MO topped out at 128 mb on 3.5 disks back then.
