Allen, thanks for the review. I had suspicions that a dual drive [floppy and high capacity] would be a compromise doing neither function well. The review confirmed it. "While the SuperDisk's backward compatibility with the archaic 3.5-inch floppy is handy when it comes to floppy replacements in OEM systems, trading off compatibility at the expense of adequate performance isn't worth it." Seems like Sony has withdrawn HiFD without fanfare. [just my guess] Gottfried

Re: Addonics. They do in fact make a "Pocket Zip" drive. We have one for our laptop, and couldn't be happier with it. It is a very small, fast, portable unit that can take it's power from either an external power source or directly from the laptop battery. Setup consisted of plugging it in (the drive was recognized immediately) and loading the tools disk. -Ken
