for those that have a floppy drive check this out smartmedia

if it works, I wonder how the write/laod speed would be.

If i didn't have a internal zip in my xl I would cop it actually I am looking to see if maybe I can buy a scsi external floppy.

I don't think it'll work 'cause you need to install a software on windows to read it...
i've found it in the comment of buyer in Amazon...

DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT THO, IT SEEMS IT DOESNT NEED A DRIVER OR ANYTHING. I really dont see why the mpc wont read it.

Man thats a cool find good lookin on that one.

Won't work, needs drivers. Took all of 30 seconds to find them:

Worst yet, it is exactly as slow as floppies. Why? It still has to use the floppy drive mechanism..

Well there goes that. would have been nice.

Exactly what I was thinking.

scsi floppys are really big sizes...not the traditional 1.44mb...do a search on google and you'll see what i'm talkin bout.

i had the same idea a while ago
