Well, I bought a 1.2GB Fubarco drive.

PRO: Cost was almost nothing! $2.00US!!!

CON: 
- Almost no data throughput ( < 1 bit/second )
- Formatting took over 3 months
- No driver support from any vendor and no ability to
	write a device driver.

But, since it was so cheap, it's a great value!!

Really!!
