Also faster to write to than most cdrws. <br /> <br /> I mean, a 10k word file is a 10k word file. Don't need 700mb for that.<br /> <br /> Not that I wouldn't love every system in the world to have a cdrw or a dvdr. Heck, I'd settle for Zip... text/html 2003-07-27T01:28:50-05:00 Adam Baugher http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/7716/#47757 Just buy a CD burner. 700MB of storage, and can be read in nearly all computers. CDRW's can even be rewritten, and CDRs are DIRT CHEAP. Burners cost nearly the same as floppy drives anyway. text/html 2003-05-29T06:17:38-05:00 Shadow_Ops_Airman1 http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/7716/#0 I think that SUPERDISK/ZIPDISK OR A USB SolidState Disk Say Easydisk, Showdrive etc,SHOULD REPLACE THE FLOPPY AS THE STANDARD STORAGE MEDIUM, the STANDARD FLOPPY Drive sould be able to read the NEWER Disks, but cant write more than 1.44MB. But the newer disks Should Be Already Be able to Make Cheap, sturdy, Fast, Stable, Higher True Capacity.say 128 MB should be 128MB of full Storage, Not having 119MB of storage for a 128 MB storage. Oh and i think those SolidSTATE disk should include full Support of USB 2.0. It would Certainly Increase data Transport speeds. but should make them cheap
