I have a usb LS120 drive. I bought an internal one when files started to get too big for a floppy, and changed to a usb to make it simple to transfer the occasional but vital files between my pc and my daughter's. I had a rewriter by this time, but she didn't. I rarely use it as such now, though occasionally it still does the vital job (she uses hers regularly for backup, much simpler for her than installing packet writing). However.. It is now earning its keep. The floppy on this pc is now so unreliable - disks are rarely readable on any other machine, and it's hardly worth replacing it. I simply keep the usb LS120 plugged in, switch on when required, and write standard floppies in it. Aren't I glad I kept it! Anne
