Anyone familiar with:

Panasonic 8" optical Drive
Removeable Cartridges
Model DU-15LU
Manufactured 1987 by Mitsushita (sp?)

Someone gave me a call today to see if I had one. I don't and told him I
would put it out to the listserver. Also, are there any other units by other
companies that will read these cartridges? The main concern here is data
recovery. The second concern is that I will then see if I can obtain that
computer :)! My understanding is that only five of these units were sold in
the US and four were returned since they were not networkable (fact or
fiction?)
