Sony also makes a higher resolution version that writes to CD-R
discs...something to consider.  I find floppy disks to be highly
unreliable these days, often failing (and taking all their data with them)
after only a couple uses.  I suppose it might have something to do with
the fact that a floppy drive used to cost $80 and now costs $10.
