Hmmm, that's clearly beyond my expertise :)
Mine, too. I remember alternative disk-at-once ways of writing 1.8 or
2MB to a 1.44MB floppy ... we thought that was a height of geekness,

I don't know how much they cost now.
There are $12 units, there are $180 units. Depends on the brand.
Probably the same basic hardware beneath them all. I think the Sony
external drive we have added about $100 to the total price of her old
system. ;-)
