- Hehe...yeah, there's one little teeny-weeny thing that has bugged me ever
- since I bought my A3000 and a SupraDrive external floppy at the same
- time. That external has a nice dust flap.
-
- From day one I have used this little cardboard thing with a flap on it,
- which I fashioned to fit the slot fairly snugly; the flap being used as a
- sort of handle to pull it out and pop it in.
-
- Dust levels seem fairly acceptable, though dust still gets in from
- natural air movement through the vents. In my high-dust home (I live
- right off a busy four-lane), without that gadget, by now I probably
- couldn't even get a disk in there.
-
- So I double-plead with AT to think 'FLAPS ARE GOOD! FLAPS ARE NICE!'
