Thought I'd ask for advice before spending the money.  Saw ads for the
following, but I've heard nothing else.  Has anyone tried these things?
Thanks in advance.  Please reply to  coleman@lll-lcc.llnl.gov

1. DiskDoubler from Datran.  $189.  Double capacity of any disk using data
   compression on the fly.  Supposed to be transparent.

2. Floppy Driver from DTG Inc.  $69.95.  Speeds up floppy access by 500%
   by caching tracks.


Anything better out there?
