From the latest PCMagazine, a product review of the new HiFud drive: "More than a year after Sony Electronics first announced the Sony HiFD ($199 list), the floppy disk drive is finally shipping in quantity." Huh???? And "On our tests, we copied two files containing 167,776K from a hard disk to the HiFD drive under Windows 98 using Windows Explorer; the drive took 7 minutes 14 seconds to complete the transfer. That's just 386K per second--faster than a floppy disk drive but slow compared with other high-capacity removable-media drives." double HUH?? and "One aspect of the Sony HiFD that lessens its ease of use is that it has no power switch. The manual specifies not leave the power on when the drive is not in use, so you have to unplug the power cord when you shut down." Doh! The whole story: zdnet.com Ben A. ez-pnf.com
