I've left out the non-floppy technologies. I have a Squest Sparq, unused still in its packaging, for example. After being sent one for evaluation, I rejected it because it was offered only in the printer-port version, which necessarily limits transfer bandwidth. But there were plenty of "floppy" technologies, such as the UHD144, or LS120 or Drivetec stuff. I treat Bernoulli and Zip as a floppy-sort-of technology, because they are incapable of reading standard floppies, so I don't include them either, even though they employed flexible media. --Chuck
