Philips Components, a division of Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands, and Software Architects, Inc. (SAI), have signed a joint development agreement aimed at launching the world’s first integrated CD-MRW drive and software solutions for personal computers (PCs)–adhering to the Mount Rainier Group specifications for next-generation CD-MRW drives. CD-MRW disc drives combine the convenience and reliability of floppy disk drives with the high capacity and re-writability of conventional CD-RW drives.

Philips [...] is committed to being one of the world’s first suppliers to bring these drives to market realization.

Well so this should be the substitute for the floppy drive / zip drive / cd-r / cd-rw…well let’s see what comes out of this partnership. Philips is wel known for making products that never get really established in the market

Long live the Floppy Drive!!! NOT

They need support from DELL or Toshiba in the Laptop Market. Then it might take off

"floppy" type disks are all really ****ing annoying, there must be at least 6 different types (LS120 LS240 1.44MB 30MB format of 1.44MB with new LS240 drives, Zip 100, and zip 250...)

all with different capacitys and irritating incompatability with each other. :c Get rid of 'em all.
