Well, I took the plunge and bought an external micro-floppy drive
for the Mac.
I had seen pictures of it, but it is definitely smaller than I
expected. And *noiser*. I've played around with it a bit and have
copied files back and forth between drives with no problem.
It sure is nice to be able to have a normal "system disk with
tools" and a "file storage" disk both at the same time. It frees up a
lot of space for files and applications on separate disks.
I intend to wait a considerable amount of time before looking into
Winchester technology for the Macintosh. From what I have heard, it is
not up to par yet. Neither Davong or Tecmar sound like reasonable
purchases. I don't like to hear "funny" or "odd" things about
Winchester products. And I have heard these things about these
products.
I plan to wait at least 6 to 12 months before even considering
the purchase of a MacWinchester, barring some surprising product
announcement.
