I've left out the non-floppy technologies.   I have a Squest Sparq,
unused still in its packaging, for example.  After being sent one for
evaluation, I rejected it because it was offered only in the
printer-port version, which necessarily limits transfer bandwidth.

But there were plenty of "floppy" technologies, such as the UHD144, or
LS120 or Drivetec stuff.   I treat Bernoulli and Zip as a floppy-sort-of
technology, because they are incapable of reading standard floppies, so
I don't include them either, even though they employed flexible media.
