Link to a possible USB 5.25" floppy drive: http://silme.pair.com/~goldman/deviceside/ -- I spoke to him at VCF, and was unimpressed by how closed he intends to keep the HW/SW. A USB floppy interface will be part of the fallout from the 'wizl' development that I'm doing, though the hardware is going to be in the $100+ range. http://bitsavers.org/tools/wizl/diskwizl/ I'm going to spend this next quarter concentrating on developing the wizl. Was looking back and it's been six years since I started looking at getting an analog 7-track tape reader running, and I need to get this project finished.
