R+D, Santa Monica Lines: 15 Summary: Dave, Before you jump in with CDs, read the 22 Oct Electronics Week, page 17. The article is titled: Sony, Hitachi ready erasable optical disks. It's subtitle is: Sony's 30-cm 1-gigabyte-per-side disk and Hitachi's 12-cm 0.55-gigabyte disk bring commercial magneto-optical gear into view. I'm not going to type-in all that's pertinent, but it does say: Later this month, Sony Corp.,...will deliver two drives... [Both cos.] imply that shipments are roughly two years in the future.
