Cheeky Kid, Care to venture any speculation as to the Sony HiFD's average sustained transfer rate? <<3.6 MB/s maximum transfer rate (read) 1.2 MB/s maximum transfer rate (write)<< Philip

>>This artical contains a photo of the Sony Floppy & Drive: pubsys.cmp.com; If that's what the new 200MB disks look like, I'm not too worried. How many people here have had a 3.5" disk/drive die on them? Fortunately for Sony, people don't use them anymore, thus no chance for the 1.44 MB part of the drive to fail and destroy the entire drive. That HiFD disk better be a prototype, because it's already starting to give me flashbacks of 1994... -Andrew
