Is Constant Linear vs Angular Velocity (?) anything I
need to worry
about when sticking within the IBM PC compatible line from say '90

There aren't that many platforms that used CLV drives. I don't recall
seeing one in the PC world. If anyone did, they would have been
specialty stuff.
The only other thing that I might add to this would be
Zip or Syquest
disks if I ever acquire media / drives.
I haven't seen a flux imaging system for Zip/Jaz drives. MO stuff might
be easier optically. But those don't tend to have the sorts of issues
where you'd need to flux image anyway -- just a bunch of blocks, and a
dd-type tool ought to work fine.
