Actually, it appears to be $99AUD, not too bad considering a replacement
floppy drive looks like being $70US +. Plus trying to fit it!
I'm using all three (Linux ,Win and Mac), and lugging round an external
zip drive is just as much hassle. ( Imagining scene of me, on train
with zip drive and laptop perched precariously on my knee.... )
Being able to use it on the Mac is not as important, but it would
be very handy!
Thanks all, at least I know of one that definately works now.
