Re:

Do current HP3000's support removable media?

I tried one Magneto-Optical removable disk system out about 5 years ago.
IIRC, I configured it as a single disk user volume set, and was able to
use it pretty easily.

I returned it because I wasn't happy with the storage capacity back then.

Some (most?) of the vendors sneakily quote capacity as "X", when they should
say X/2 ... because it's X/2 on one side of the disk, and you have to
manually remove the platter, flip it over, and re-insert it to get the
other X/2.
