Apple gave their users the same problem several years ago. We had several hundred (around 5 - 600) floppies in my office that had to be converted to cd. Took an intern days to copy them onto a hard drive, organize and package them for burning. (I still remember her ripping them apart and shredding them to bits when she was done. Ruined a shredder, too.)From: "J. van Baardwijk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Scouted: Dell follows Apple: Eliminates Floppies Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2003 21:36:24 +0100At 12:38 7-2-2003 -0500, Jon Gabriel wrote:"You insert it right into the USB port, and your computer reads it just like it would read a floppy drive.

Could have cheerfully killed Apple at the time. :(
But... this has happened before with 5.25 floppies, so I guess there's a precedent.
You weren't able to get that memory stick drive working??
