I desire a floppy drive that can handle greater than 2.8 meg.  The fact 
that the 3.5" drive was reverse engineered made it an inexpensive 
improvement over the 5.25 drive.  (Which was also reverse engineered.)

These items are now just a comodity in the market place.  Now the problem 
with something as usful as a Bournouli drive is that it is owned by 
bournouli.  A 5 or six inch disk sells for $90+. 

If there were some hardware standards developed and given to the public, 
(not GNU) then we would have some industry wide improvements.  The disk 
drive, networking cards/software could become a high performance generic 
standard.

Other areas that I see a need in standards is movie/sound compression and 
play (Surround sound systems without a company owning the standards).  
Document object standards not owned by Microsoft.


The problem with ANSI standards is that they're so far behind the 
industry that it's a laugh.  the goal would be to improve performance and 
compatability in a foward looking environment.  (Remember that "Backward 
compatability" is half backward.)


Any ideas?
