Thanks to everyone who responded to my posting. Here is a brief summary.

Floppy Drive:
	(1) The drive can read Mac 1.44Mb floppies. But someone has to come
	    up with the software to handle Mac file system.
	(2) There are third-party floppy drive vendors that have
	    Mac-compatible products.
	(3) 20Mb+ floppy drives should hit the market pretty soon.

Laser Printer:
	NeXT has presumably opened up the printing architecture with 2.0.
	With an approriate printer driver, your NeXT machine should be
	able to support any printer. Now, any volunteer to write a driver
	for LaserJet?
