The Philips disc has no catchy name yet, so the system is known as SFFO, short for Small Form Factor Optical. In Japan last week, Philips demonstrated SFFO discs to convince sceptics that it really is possible to store four gigabytes on a three-centimetre disc, and to make a drive as small as a memory card that can read it reliably.
