Hey Guys,

Just realized that I really need an external floppy drive, preferrably usb interface, don't care if it's 1.1 or 2.0. Firewire is cool, but since I don't think floppies will write that quick anyway, nevermind. Hell, serial might even work, but I'd imagine it'll be USB.

Let me know what you've got.

wal mart has one for 20$ I think, but I could be wrong on the price.

That would be uber-spiffy, I'll think about it.

I am curious about the integrity of the file it you change out one disk with a blank after you copy all the stuff to the "mega-floppy." I wonder what kind of errors that would cause. He should post a video of the machine at work, I know I would be entertained.

I can understand doing something like that with maybe zip 250 or jaz disks, but floppies? j/k, I really enjoy hearing people doing innovative thingsd like that.

Anybody got an external floppy laying around?
