	I think you may be trying to describe the "floptical" drives.
	These drives use a sepcial 3 1/2" disk that holds 21 Megs per
	disk.  
	
	I think some are made using a SCSI interface so you might me able

	But IMHO you would be MUCH better off just installing a hard drive
	as the Floptical drive are a few hundred and the disks are something
	like $20 or $30 each.  Per Meg it wouldn't be worth it for a ][e.
