I just checked out their website, and I have to agree with Rocky - there's NO mention of a disk DRIVE. So how do these things "magically" work? The website doesn't give me a clue: (Warning: Website music becomes irritating very fast!) dataplay.com

Rocky, excuse my ignorance in these matters, but why would a miniature optical medium require a drive, one could have a "tiltable mirror", or even an array of tiltable micromirrors (TI's technology) to read and write on the disk without actual mechanical rotating drives. Did I just throw into the public domain another technology? (VBG). Virtual retinal displays and some projection displays are already using micromachined mirrors for scanning and projecting images point by point. Zeev
