And now for something completely pointless. To the ever-increasing list of Gee-Whiz-Technologies-Supported-By-OS-X-But-Thus-Far-Functionally-Useless (currently populated by such things as Inkwell and Rendezvous), we can now add:
USB FLOPPY DISK RAID!
When I first tried to do this I looked at my DELL running Windows XP, but unfortuately it does not allow USB FDD RAIDs. HOW LAME!!!! So, I turned to my new favorite OS, Apple OS X. Here is how I did this low-hi tech marvel.
He stripes five floppies together and halves their access time. All he needs to get 127 drives striped together is more hubs, so he's taking donations.
If that isn't a worthy cause, I don't know what is.
