I've noticed that the 120 meg IDE SuperDrive that supports regular 1.44
floppies is starting to catch on in the PC world. Is it possible to use on of
these as a replacement floppy drive in the Falcon computer? 40 MP3 audio
files, each 5 megs could be held on one 120 Meg. disk. Using Mp3 processing,
and a speaker phone would allow quite a few audio messages to be stored on a
disk, making the Falcon into a virtual answering machine. Compressed video
email messages could be retrieved from the net and stored on a single floppy.
I hope someone creates support for these drives as it greatly enhances the
usefulness of Falcon computers.
