The floppy drive issue seems to come up pretty often here.  I don't have a
cube, so I don't know for sure, but isn't there supposedly a SCSI port on the
beast?  I know this doesn't solve the software distribution problem, since
publishers can't assume a SCSI drive on the system, but I don't understand why
people say "you can't get a floppy drive on the system".
