What's the difference between going this route and purchasing the $39
Disk Pack device driver package that Paul Herman now sells?  In both cases
you need to purchase drives and a 50->34 pin adapter, unless you are
adept enough to build one (not this whale!).  Are these two approaches
to the same goal?

I can't wait to get a 1.2M and a 1.44M into my Z.  Floppy exchange has
been a bear up till now in this office.  Obsolete machine, my foot!!  :)  :)
