- Any existing or prospective duo (or PB100) owners out there which have
- considered using (or use) a floptical drive instead of Apple's
- HDI-20 floppy? The price difference is about $150, and the
- floptical gives you a inexpensive archive/backup device. However,
- the floptical needs AC power right?
- It seems that a SCSI micro-dock (like Apple's floppy adapter,
- except with a HDI-30 SCSI port instead of HDO-20 floppy port) and
- a floptical give you much more bang and utility for the buck.
