    Here's the situation:

    I have about 300 1.3 GB Magneto-Optical (MO) disks in storage
    containing data backups. Each disk contains a HFS filesystem and
    is mountable onto the system. Each disk is unique. Corporate
    has decidedthat this data should be migrated onto the DLT library
    used by everyone else on the center (the data I have pre-dates
    the DLT library). The old 40 GB jukeboxes I used to create all of
    these disk are dead, and thereplacement I was given by another
    department in unknown condition, andhave not used much, contains
    2.6 GB drives.

    I have not been able to get the 2.6 GB drives to mount or read
    any of the 1.3 GB disks, even though I understood that they
    should be able to. I forget the exact error message (last time I
    tried it was more than 6 months ago), but it just comes back with
    an error and quits.

    So here's my help request. Either

    1) help with determining how to get an 10.20 system to mount the
    older media in the 2.6 GB drive.

    Or

    2) A vendor recommendation for a used 1.3 GB external MO drive.

    As usual, thanks in advance and I'll be looking for replies. Any
    replies....
