Yes there is!! HP used SCSI floppies in some of their machines, I think a few other server units may have also used them, however I don't believe that any Mac's ever used them. >From memory the floppy drives used a standard Sony mechanism with a SCSI interface board bolted to the underneath, they also had motorised eject like the Mac ones. Unfortunately I never got hold of a spare one to try in a Mac. Ben. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
