This is the winner. If you find yourself in the unenviable position of having to read memory sticks via your floppy drive, $78 is a goddamn bargain. I had a device at a job backintheday that had a DD floppy drive. It was connected to the device (which spoke CP/M) via a proprietary 30-pin cable. The device was solid state. The drive was not. And while it was probably a Toshiba from 1986 that was available from certain eBay vendors in questionable condition, seeing as it was 2005, my boss grudgingly paid $1800 for a replacement floppy. After all, we billed that piece of shit out at $220 an hour.
