Keep Floppies Alive With The USB Floppy Disk Drive

I was thinking the other day about the video I posted of the homemade auto floppy loader and was wondering if there was an easy way to still use floppy discs, and then forgetting about it totally. Today the answer fell right into my lap.

Of course the answer is USB. Now the reasons you would need, or want, to use this are probably out of my grasp but it's nice that somebody is looking after the 'vintage' formats. Here are some quick stats on the drive:

• Transfer floppy disk data to your computer via USB
• 3.5″ 1.44 MB floppy disk drive
• Cable length: 0.5 meters
• LED indicating power, read & write activity

The Sandberg USB Floppy Disk Drive is $39.69 from FireBox.
