Later today I plan to try FlashFloppy. My goal is to eventually
replace all of my mechanical floppies with solid state ones.
Why would one want to do that?
My goal would be the opposite. Upgrade all vintage computers with floppy
drives ;-) My experience is that, if handled correctly, floppies are one
of the most durable media, and they are definitely more fun on vintage
equipment than any form of modern replacement. For exchanging data between
the new and the old world, maybe it can be an option. But for classic
computing? No way I would replace a floppy drive if it isn't broken.
