Theoretically, you could use Veritas Volume Manager
on a floppy disk, divvy it up into two plex's then
mirror the two plex's to each other.
Oh look.. a ~700K mirrored 3.5" floppy disk..

PS: Yes, now that I've thought of it, I'm definitely
going to have to see if I can't find a VxVM eval

Got a Linux box and a USB hub? Linux sees all USB-attached storage
as SCSI devices, which means you should be able to partition a floppy
disk in a USB drive. Hang a few floppy drives off your USB hub,
partition each disk and voila!
Software floppy RAID.
