Description: MagFS provides a filing system for Magneto-Optical disc drives. You can swap discs like floppies and it will ask for them back if it wants them. A formatter is included. Most MO disks come low-level formatted, so you'll just have to high-level format them. Note that both !MagOpt and MO-Form will work fine on 230Mb magneto-optical drives, and quite possibly other removable, and non-removable SCSI devices (SyQuests, hard disks, etc). For example, if you run out of SCSIFS devices, you can use MOFS to add new hard disks to your system up to the limit of the SCSI IDs.
