Supra has announced a 10 MB floppy drive.  We (Hash Enterprises) are planning
to take a good look at this for animation storage.  Obviously, the speed
wouldn't be good enough to playback straight off the floppy, but we could
break the 880K limit.  It's real easy to fill up a harddisk with animations.
However, I wouldn't mind having a decent WORM drive :-).
