    It's like floating down a river, once you pass that dock there's no
    going back. Unless, like me you stop there and are happy with the
    place. My 386 has both 5.25 and 3.5 inch drives. Until they quit
    working, I'm happy with them.


    Still using my 5.25 drive on my Atari 800 and 130xe computers!

    I gave that up with my Commodore 64 and Plus/4, but I still have the drive hooked up, just in case.

    But I do still use floppy disks with my Kaypro 4/84. And I still have a 5.25" 360K drive in my Sperry HT - to write new software to those Kaypro disks.
