Which is a shame. The high price tag probably killed

the drives going for around $200. A couple years later, ZIP drives came
out at around the same price for 5 time the capacity.
But the floptical drive could ALSO do 1.4M floppies.
So did the LS-120, but my floptical drive was significantly
more reliable than ZIP or LS-120 drives.
