Insite Peripherals Inc, Santa Clara has awarded the first – non exclusive – licence to its Floptical data recording technology to Iomega Corp, Roy, Utah: the Floptical disk uses a laser to read pre-recorded tracks on a conventional magnetic floppy medium, enabling the heads to be positioned with much greater accuracy, so that one 3.5 floppy disk can store a formatted 20Mb; Iomega will be making both the drives and the media, which threaten to obsolete its Bernouilli Box.
