Are there particular MO discs that must be used with the Canon drive in the cube? I see blank Magneto Optical discs for sale on a popular auction site. Ranging from Sony to Verbatim available in capacities up to a couple gigabytes. Need to test my drive, and I have no discs to use. Thank you!

You can use the Canon MO disks... 512MB, though you need to format them. I'd suggest buying a NeXT disk with software on it to test the ability for the drive to read, before doing anything else.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look for Canon 512MB versions.

The only NeXT disks I can find are very expensive. I don't want to spend money on those until I know I have a functioning MO drive.
