Interesting article but when goteks are 30 a pop on ebay and work on something as wonky as
a professional 350, I think it's time to let 5.25 floppies go
I'll get a teac but mainly to convert all my pdp11 floppies to images.

Take what you want from the article, but I thought the end paragraph, noting that Tom
Persky of floppydisk.com is 73 and is only planning to handle things for 5 more years.
After that, he thinks the company will not transfer to anyone.
Interesting thoughts there.
