I think I still have some. From the days when optical disks started. I 
think they were physically compatible with existing optical disk (have 
some of those too) while internally they were just CDROMs. Best of both 
worlds. BTW last week I found an 8 inch floppy, anyone remember those?
I also have some tapes for a tape drive and probably we still have a 
20MB removable hard disk for a PDP-11 somewhere in the department.
