I don't know, although I would bet on the CF card handling more
cycles than an 8" floppy. I thought you were talking about currently
available media, and that's not even a contest.

Of 20 or 30 CF cards I've used, only one
was bad out of the box, and
I think a flaky connection killed that one.
That isn't exactly what I meant.
Take a good 8" floppy and drive and perform continuous read/write
verify on a couple of tracks. Do the same for a CF card. Which will
die first?
