Introduction Compact

I'm not sure how many of you are aware of 3M's new LS-120 3.5 disk
drive. It's due out in late 96 early 97. It will appear in new Compaq computers as a standard replacement for the regular 3.5 disk
drive. Apparently it offers more abilty than the zip:

1. 120 megabytes of storage

2. its read and writeback backwards. (You can use regular old 1.44 disks with it) Check out www.mmm.com/datastorage.

Just thought you all would like to know.
