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 <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:01:21 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
