I prefer working with MS-DOS formatted 3 1/2 inch disketts, but the
shop environment is entirely too dusty for the media to perform
satisfactorily.  I propose sealing a disk drive with a disk in airtight
steel casing.  May I ask experienced technologists what method is most
employed for carrying programs to CNC machines.  Yes, I am familiar
with paper tape, but who uses paper anymore?
