Well, there are no real development costs involved. The only expense would be the cost of the components and the space in the body. -----Original Message----- From: John Sessoms <jsessoms...@nc.rr.com> Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:01:21 To: <pdml@pdml.net> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: Re: Talking to Ned Bunnell at the PhotoPlus Expo

If you need one to read old floppies they're now almost exclusively external USB devices, except that all I ever see is 3-1/2" drives. If you need 5-1/4 I don't know what you can do. With regard to will Pentax support screw-drive in the future, backwards compatibility with legacy lenses is one of Pentax's main talking points. They might abandon that, but I don't think they would do so heedlessly. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
