I don't think it would, there are already 250 MB ZIP disks, which are fearly
cheap, and fast, and they're bigger in MB's than MD's too. I myself have a
100 MB ZIP Drive, and it works great, a lot of my friends have one too, and
at school they've also got them. and it work's really fast 600 Kbyte to 1
Mbyte per second. the 250 is even faster.
BTW, the serial port of a computer has a maximum speed of 115 Kbit per
second, which comes to 11.5 Kbyte per second, so that won't really work,
you'd have to create a ISA or PCI card for it to work at higher speeds.
