Whooaaaa.... Since when did we all decide that 1.44 MB was the way to go? I don't know about you guys, but for me the floppy drive represents a COMMON format device that I can use for sucking data from the widest possible set of additional machines. For me, this means 720K format, not 1.44MB (which would rule out the Amigas and Ataris, not to mention various early PC's and god-knows-what-else). Now if the 1.44MB drives can all deal happily with 720K (or, dare I say it, even 360K) formats, then consider my mouth closed in satisfied silence. If not, then please, let's all give this a re-think and set some priorities.. As far as quantity 100 deals are concerned, it certainly seems like there should be 100+ PC532 owners in the near future... Why not try and set up such a quantity buy? You could always buy an extra drive for your dog.. Jordan
