Let's hope. These floppy slots are currently just ornamental, after all.
Next to nothing fits on 'em anymore. Zipdrive would be floppy++, if only
media prices wouldn't be held up artificially.

Uh, caveat lector. (I fact I was :P~~~~~ , as well, I fervently wish this
stuff was already there. Chucks, even a vanila NIR LED as 4 MHz bandwidth,
plastic optofiber costs next to nothing, and even semiconductor lasers lie

mumboard to retirement home? Why?
