Good post Ben, one thing people over look is that floppy drive is not in an expansion slot anymore. They way they design these sleek new machines it is part of the styling now. Before any drive gets accepted as a standard it would have to be an accesory for quite a while. If it is backward compatible then it loses any advantage, why get a floppy+ls120 combo? I can get the zip + floppy instead. I guess my point is the floppy IS part of the design in systems now. Probably costs about the same as an extension cord too. When will we see USB Zip and Jazz? or buzz and clik for that matter. I would like to see Norton Utilities ( with zip as A drive) on a Zip disk (in addition to Iomega tools) to ship with every new DELL, Gateway, Micron.

regards,
Jeff
