Oh, yeah, I've run across that before, what you were describing sounded vaguely familiar.
But I can't think of anything Polaroid that would hold more than one pack at a time. I don't think there ever was... (was there??). The film made now is apparently a slightly thicker little packet of film and emulsion and chemistry since the film packs don't hold the full number that Polaroid originally did (8 instead of 10). I know that when I get to 3 it actually means I only have one left (2 = 0 !! ) But even instant film backs for cameras I think only would hold one pack.
I forgot til I ran across this that there have been large (I mean really big large!) Polaroids, and 8x10s.
Unless you're talking about peel apart film rather than the integrated film Polarod makes now (used to be made by The Impossible Project). The newest film from Supersense ('Doc' Florian to the rescue again!!) will hold less than the standard (6 instead of 10) because each one is separate (and apparently feeds out in a way that seems similar to the old rollfilm Polaroids although I could be mistaken, it isn't out yet). But I don't know of any camera that held more than one pack of film.
