$10 Mitsumi Floppy

Is there still guys using this...DEVICE...

Me - myself - when bought my new home PC also included it... and still
HAVEN't Used it... and maybe NEVER will ...

Damn those 10$ - could have been spent on several COOL BEERS instead...

[jujubee]

I use them especially when upgrading a BIOS. Also you must throw in girlfriend factor of using your comp for all sorts of puzzling needs...

Besides, if you've already blown 8k what's $10 more.

[DaForce]

yeah i only use my floppy drive for bios and firmware updates. And for some reason my GF seems to make great use of it. go figure

I actually saw it working at Siggraph in Cinema4d. I think I peed a little. The thing was huge and ugly... but then again it was a prototype. I asked the guy how much, and after avoiding to answer for a while, he said, will start around $10k or so. All things considered, way back circa 1997 or so, we paid around 10k for Dual PIIIs at 450mhz, granted that was with those overpriced wildcat cards which I would never buy again. But we also had a monster 18gig scisi drives on those bad boys... and we maxed out the ram to 2gigs. hmmm.... are still maxing out the ram to 2gigs... that is the only thing that has not changed by 10x.

I have one of those still a dual 450 Pentium 3 oh god I think my work paid like $7,000.00USD back in the day! It even has a 3Dlab's 256MB Graphics card...and it still runs like a champ!

I replaced my Floppy slot with a cool temp LCD screen! I would rather see some temps of my comp, than use that damn floppy drive! get a usb key! works just as good for Bios Updates

My dual 450s are still running tho I wont turn it on. It really is a beautiful computer. Built a year after the chipset was released for under $1200. Granted, I probably only had 128 megs of ram thrown in it.

wow dude thats alot. I built my own dual 450 mhz back in the day. it even also had a 3dlabs oxygen card. but it only cost me like $2800 to build.

[Mathew Everett]

That is corporate idiots for you ...The company buys what it wants when it wants. I think they bought like 38 of those 450's when they first hit the market.

See I don't work at a render studio, or a rendering company... I am the only person who does renderings for Fleetwood Enterprises...It is really boring. I need a new job.....

[percydaman]

hey, I used to BUILD crap for fleetwood enterprises, so it could be worse...

[Mathew Everett]

what do you mean you built crap? you worked for fleetwood? where?

[percydaman]

I used to work in a fleetwood plant in oregon. I was being facetious when I said "crap." nothing wrong with fleetwood.

[Mathew Everett]

lol! I didn't mean it that way, I mean as instead of crap did you build RV's Homes?

[percydaman]

I built RV's and travel trailers
