I have heard it said that flopticals are unable to handle
high density disks (eg 1.4M DOS disks).  Can anyone clarify
this?   I am tossing up between Syquest and Flopticals.
The ability to read/write 1.4M disks from work could swing
the balance.

NB I have RISCOS3.1 on a 420 (in case that is relevant)
