May,

If you know of a product that will meet the following criteria and can be brought to the market in the next few monthes, let me know.

If I am buying a new computer:

1. I have to read my old floppies
2. I don't want to pay for more than one drive.
3. I have to be able to boot to either floppy or new type disk.

If I have an existing computer:

1. I can use my old drive to boot to but then I can't boot to the new drive.
2. If I replace my old floppy, then I have to read the old floppies and I have to be able to boot to the new drive.

I am not in love with the LS-120 just compatability, economy and performance. If it can't do the above, then the product becomes just another syquest drive.

Regards,

Ben
