Toshiba and TEAC both have 2.88Mb 3.5" floppy drives out, as far as I can
tell.  Some mailorder suppliers are selling these drives for as low as
$119.  Getting the disks might be a little more difficult.

But which computers will these drives work with?  The new PS/2 high-end
models, of course, but that's not the point.  Is the data transfer rate
even higher so that a new controller is required?  Who makes a BIOS which
can accept these drives?

Just curious.
