How about a tapestreamer too?!
It's surely more useful for backups, dumps etc than a floppy.
The tapestreamer and HD could go on a SCSI-bus.
There is a cheap SCSI-controler from Western Digital (WD33C93 I think).
A floppy is good when you need to transport "small" amounts of soft
to a another machine.

A computerboard with video on board is a PC!
A real computer has none (except for SUNs - the exception that confirms
the rule 8-) No flames! This is my opinion and nobody, I repeat, nobody
can take it away from me.
