Well the subject says it all. Anyone got any more info on this long-heard-of
drive that can use regular 3.5" floppies or special 20 meg disks? If this
product ever hits the shelf I cannot see why in the world anyone would ever
need a hard drive. Unless of course this special media is too expensive.
I first heard of this drive last year and back then it was rumored to be out
'soon' (in computerese terms). This baby's gotta be the storage answer to
computers barring all but the prohibitively expensive R/W optical CD's, no?
