Chucky -

Sony has been making MiniDisc data drives for at least a couple of years now. As I recall, they hold 128MB per disk (formatted). Read/write speeds are quite slow, and they are fairly expensive devices. Still, I think they could have been a pretty big hit if they had ever been marketed correctly.

You might be able to find out more about them by looking at Sony's website. Search for MD Data. Or maybe I'll go do that now and report back.
