| Worth using my Inspire Dual M/O Drive or just junk it? I have an Inspire Dual Magneto Optical Drive sitting around, should I even use it or just toss it. I don't have any discs for it so of I use it I need to find some. Thing is kinda heavy, maybe 60lbs. |

| If I remember well, the capacity of these drives is just 120mb. That's not so much.. Besides that, the drive is slow and needs rebooting every time you change a disc (yeah I know this is strange, but it does neet the reboot for initialising). Third reason not to use: discs are hard to get and really expensive. CDR(W) media are far less expensive... ps I could be wrong.. a friend of mine had a drive like that (or something quite similar) about 8 years ago... long time, bad memory...!
