No, it's a really practical question. Overall, would CF operating as
in the new primary mass storage device a system that was floppy-only,
provide the same service life as a floppy? Think machine tools,
textile equipment, CNC tools, lab equipment, etc.
What's the failure mode of CF? Is it "all at once" or "bits and
pieces" like a floppy?
