Retro-Computing

[USB floppy drive]I was walking around to pick up a cheapo DVD burner when I spotted this gadget: A floppy disk drive that you connect to your computer using USB and claims to read & write at twice the usual speed. I couldn’t resist, of course. I think in the half a dozen computers around the house there are only 2 that have a floppy drive and I’m not sure I trust them to work right still. I’ve already done a massive backup run a few years ago, but every now and then you may run into something and want to rescue the data before it gets lost.
