Anyone know anything about these beasts? Usable like any other normal removable or not? Panasonic has nothing about them on their site, other than a miscellanous firmware upgrade of unknown purpose. It came with a WORM cart (double-sided, 1.4G total, Panasonic LM-W1400A) which appears to be OK -- drive accepts cart, apppears to mount it, but cart is unmountable as MSDOS filesystem (it was last used on a PC). Format attempts also fail, although maybe I trashed the cart by trying to format a WORM cart.. It won't accept one of the zillion 5.25 1.2GB MO R/W carts I have (too thick by 2mm), and I can't find a link to what R/W carts it *should* take. DVD-RAM carts I have are the correct thickness, but too narrow. According to a cow-orker, the drive has about 1 hour of actual usage on it from some consultant-driven archiving system that was assembled and then abandoned, but nobody seems to know anything about the drive or its media, other than the drive was seldom if ever used. -- swb@grasslake.net Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
