I got this drive free after a cleaning of a server room:

These are the discs for it:

From what I found, this drive was really only released to east markets. A google search for the model number returned only 3 hits, and 2 sites were in an asian language. From what I have heard, this drive may have been used to backup a pbx voicemenu. Any input is gladly accepted.

Note that each pic is about 800KB sorry if you're on a dialup modem.

This is the closest I could find:

The model number there is MOS362S, rather than the MOS362E on you model - but it's close enough that there's got to be at least SOME similarity... laugh

If you want to look at some of their other MO drives, go here:

Wow that's an extremely fast removable drive. Too bad it's it's proprietary and not of a larger capacity. Oh well I'm sure you'll put it to good use just the same smile.

I looked up similar drives to what you have right there, and external ones are running in the thousands of dollars. I am looking at some prices right now and the cheapest I see for new ones are $6563.67. That is a lot of money for an optical drive. So you might try to pawn that off if you aren't going to use it. You could make yourself some nice extra spending money.

I fail to see why a Jazz SCSI wouldn't be better than this? Or a USB/Firewire removable HD? My guess is this is just a poor overpriced solution. I'd sell it and buy something usefull.
