                       12.  A dual layer pre-recorded optical storage disc, comprising, in order:                                     
                       a transparent substrate having a first data pit pattern in one major surface thereof;                          
                       a partially reflective layer comprising amorphous selenium, adjacent the first data pit                        
               pattern, having an index of refraction having a real component, n, and an imaginary component,                         
               K, wherein n > 2.6 and K  < 0.035 at 650 nm;                                                                           
                       a transparent spacer layer;                                                                                    
                       a second data pit pattern; and                                                                                 
                       a highly reflective layer provided adjacent the second data pit pattern.                                       


                       22.  The disc of claim 12, wherein the first data pit pattern contains a format designed for                   
               use with a first disc drive having a first laser beam having a first wavelength, 81, and wherein the                   
               second data pit pattern contains a second different format designed for use with a second                              
               different disc drive having a second different laser beam having a second different wavelength,
