  Can anyone recommend a good brand and source for external floppy drives
  for use on a NeXTcube?  I have a cube with an optical drive and need to
  use a floppy as well.

     Thanks

I have been using the PLI Super Floppy for nearly two years now, no problems.
With NextOS 3.0 you can read/write Next, Dos and Mac formats.

I have been using a PLI supuerfloppy 2.8 for about two and a half years without
problems.  Although the drive is incredibly slow, I imagine that is a function
of being a floppy dove rather than the brand.  All in in all, it is a nice
unit.
