I could see a use for this 6 years ago, when we had an MO jukebox running as a server. Of course, having left 6 years ago, they may STILL be using the jukebox.

MO disks were popular in Japan when I lived there over 10 years ago. I still have lots of 640MB disks laying around, as well as an Olympus SCSI MO drive.

I believe it was SyQuest that came up with this sort of case originally with an 80MB magetic disk in a cartridge. They sold well, but not wildly so.

MO has been around for over a decade. it was a bad idea back then, and still is!
