Actually they are marketing the LS120 disk drives imagine have brought
out with the iMac... The have made a nice external USB version .. in
Imac colors, or straight blue ... only about $200 i think for the unit.. 
Not bad really ... at least u only need one .. and you can take it
between friends imacs etc .. and read both 120 meg and 1.44 meg disks
!.. 

If you are going to spend the money on an Imac ... then another $200 for
an excellent floppy drive wont hurt .... 

Just wish i had the $$$ to buy on in the first place :)
