MO Disks Types, Transfer & Data Recovery
Magneto-Optical disks were originally 5.25"
or 130mm. They look like the old style dvd cartridges
with a cd inside. The data is recorded on both
sides of the disk and the disk has to be turned
over to read the other side. The disk reflective
coating can be seen by pulling back the aluminium
slider. The recording is made by a laser heating
the disks magnetic layer so altering its magnetic
state.
The 130mm MO Disks are often employed in company
document management storage and retrieval systems.
Optical libraries automate loading and storing
of the disks. and may hold 16 or more disks and
connected by SCSI to a host computerand incorporates
archive software to store indexes of data and
select disks. Popular uses were for legal document
storage and medical imaging. Maxoptix is a major
manufacturer of 130 mm or 5.25" magneto optical
drives.
The 90mm 3.5" inch MO discs were more commonly
used by consumers. They look like a thicker version
of a 1.44MB floppy disk. Vendors were initially
NeXT and Canon followed by Fujitsu, Sony and PDO
Konica Minolta. Fujitsu and Sony expanded the
GIGAMO Standard to 2.3GB. Gigamo was supported
by Olympus Optical, Konica Teijin Hitachi Maxell
Mitsubishi Ritek, Shima Seiki. The Gigamo products
were used for high-speed file backup for commercial
systems such as telephone switches and Automated
Teller Machines, and for storing and working with
digital video and photos. They were popular with
Apple Mac users.
Also legacy systems data transfer. We have handled
many proprietray file system storage applications
and extracted the data to more modern media for
access by Windows PCs, Macs or Network storage.
DICOM MOD Magneto-Optical Disks
Data Transfer includes for Zeiss Visupac medical
systems and records, Phillips PET-CT medical diagnostic
system MOD archive. We have also transferred Dicom
from disks which have become corrupt especially
for the old Marconi and Philips SeleCT CT scanners
. The disks were showing blank but we restored
access to the DICOM files and transferred them
to DVDs or hard drives.
PCDoc PCDocSE PC Doc SE MOD Magneto-Optical
Disks
This system was used by Ministry of Defence,
Stock Exchanges and other as a document archive,
storage and retrieval system. We have experience
in extracting the documents from these Legacy
file systems to more modern medai that can be
readily accessed from Windows computer or on a
network drive.
PD 650 MB Cartridge by Panasonic LM-R650J &
3M PD650 Transfer
A disk that is frequently categorised as a DVD-RAM
or MO disk (but which is not they were recorded
using Phase Change Dual), was produced by Panasonic
& 3M during the early 1990's as a pre-cursor
to the DVD-RAM. They were not widely popular and
were only in production for a short time. We can
transfer data files from the Panasonic PD Cartridge
LM-R650J & 3M PD 650 Single Sided Rewriteable
650MB optical disks to say a regular CD for use
in a Windows PC Computer or Apple Mac.
See our CD DVD DVD-RAM recovery & file data

Disk Cartridge Transfer
These 5.25 inch optical disk cartridge came in a variety
of sizes inc 200MB 400MB 940MB 1.4GB 1GB 1.5GB. They sometimes
use a very rare file system with signatures such
as IBM CRL2, Corel/cpk for PC DOS FAT and Apple
Mac HFS computer systems. Model Numbers were P201 P470C P940C
P1400C P1002E P1500E LM-R1500A LM-D500 LM-D500W LM-D501 LM-D501W
LM-D702W LM-R1400A LM-W1400A OC-900. They were made by
Plasmon, Panasonic, Storage Dimensions, Magstore among others.
They look similar
to other 5.25 inch MO disks except they have 3
notches or holes down the right side of the casing
and again were phase change technology. Inside
they look similar to a DVD-RAM but they cannot
be read using a DVD-RAM drive. The disks were
double sided WORM (Write Once Read Many) and had
capacities per side of 470MB/Side, 500MB/Side
700MB/Side 750MB/Side. Other identities for these
were Magstore, Storage Dimensions, Reflection Systems and IBM 3363 WORM
