Floppy RAID


I love the idea of building RAIDs out of floppy drives -- I just with this guy had built a BIGGER RAID. If he'd clustered 256 old iMacs with four floppy drives each, he would have had a gigabyte floppy RAID -- all the power and reliability of a Jaz cartridge, in a package that fills a roller-rink. In fact, you could employ kids on roller-blades (like Kozmo did!) to wheel around the shelves, replacing dud floppies with fresh ones.
