Since most people have no idea how many a mole is.
 That's a **LOT** of floppy drives......wonder how long a mole of
 floppy cables would be if laid end to end...... 
  Assuming they're each 1ft
long, that's over 19e6 light years according
 to google. 
 
Won't work.
I've cabled to drives a dozen feet away; the spec calls for less distance.
