USB Floppy Disk Drive RAID Array Under OS X
ohlssonvox writes "I believe this is the first USB Floppy Disk Drive RAID; I have never heard of any others. It was done using OS X. I would like to share this with the world. The world must know the power of USB FDD RAID!!! This is NOT an April fools joke, I just happen to be fool enough to make this on April fools."
Maybe this guy will build a wire structure that connects 10 floppies and handle. Then hold the structure and insert all floppies into properly aligned drives... Keep adding floppies to hopefully beat the speed of the IDE, then sell it.

could be, they make windows media player for mac you know. . .
this guy's an idiot. Everyone knows that you should use RAID 5 (or 0+1) with something as unreliable as floppies.
Floppy disk RAID. Funnier than any April Fools day joke.
I think everyone's missing the real irony in that the iMac was the computer that dealt the first death blow to the floppy to begin with. Its taken Dell until this year to catch up w/ the down-with-floppies trend.
... okay, well, I can't stretch this. its still useless. But its cool. Gives me hope that people like this aren't milling about the street causing trouble.
But now it seems that Mr. Jobs and Mr. Dell were both wrong, as this user has proven that with a little imagination, even useless technology can be made into something
yes that's the one. I have a LS120 in my desktop, it works fine, but doesn't seem to be able to cram more onto standard floppies.
