Murphy strikes again!

I delayed the purchase of a Ricoh RO-5031E magneto-optical drive too
long. Now the vendor I was talking to tells me that Ricoh has
discontinued that drive. I can buy a new RO-5060E (about the same
price, twice the capacity), but I don't know if it will work with our
X/32 CPU-3.

I'm waiting to hear from Ed Murray on this, but I thought I would go
ahead and query this mailing list as well: 1. Will I be able to get
this new model to work with the X/32? 2. Do you know of vendors
where I might still find the RO-5031E? 3. ...any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Bill
