RE: Regarding Floppy Drives

I'm not the one who was particularly concerned with their lack of availability, their (non)usefulness, price, etc. I'm not up-at-arms about any of this. I am aware with the various investments of vintage sample ownership and I'm okay with that. It seems that not everyone is at peace with the expenditures needed to run equipment from this era.
I said it wasn't personal because I was explaining a viewpoint that ran contrary to your worldview and I didn't want you to view it as a personal attack, but simply an explanation of why things are as they are. You seem to have faulty assumptions about supply and demand on legacy storage drives, and you seemed baffled by the availability, pricing, and compatibility of Emu storage options, so I did my best to explain it to you. Sorry if my corrections offended you, that wasn't my intent.
I'm sorry you can't get floppies to work, but you're making mountains out of molehills.
What is the exact question you need answered? If that was entirely clear then I would attempt to give you the simplest and most direct answer I have, although I am not the be-all-end-all expert.
