Thanks for the info. And thanks for the offer, but I'm thinking I'll need the floppy every now and then so I'm looking to buy one.

I remember drooling over 'em years ago. Really nice bright display on the color ones. I have a Duo and not even sure if it works (don't have the power brick and cord. I bought a USB floppy drive and I think they are all compatable (at least I THINK they are). It works great. You are welcome to borrow mine unless you think you may need to buy one to use on an ongoing basis.
