A Question to all. What is the current price of the standard floppy drive installed in a PC? The reason I ask pertains to the issue of backwards compatibility. Clearly if a compatible product can save the manufacturer money and valuable space, then Zip will have a very difficult time surviving. If on the other hand, a floppy drive is a few pennies, then the issue is meaningless from the point of cost at least.
