    Didn’t we see a nearly identical article about this a few months ago?

    Anyway, I’ll reiterate my amazement that they adopted this system well after 5¼" floppies were already obsolete - and the smaller 3½" diskettes were already on their way out.

      Yeah when I first heard about it I assumed we were talking 3.5in floppies.

      I still don’t understand why a floppy emulator was so hard to implement, but moving to an entirely new system with support makes sense.
