Talk:X10 accelerated floppy drive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] About This Article

It is difficult to find information on the internet for items 1996 and older. If a Google search does not turn up any info on something I feel it is time to post some information about it. Yes, a groups search on a specific term did get few results.

This X-10 drive is something I feel should be remembered. That is my inspiration and reason for creating this article. It hit the market when a replacement or improvement to the floppy was long overdue. CDR's and Zip drives were addressing this. 10 years later the floppy is still around and still slower than it has to be!

I would like to see the others that worked on this project credited for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Holidaypepsi (talk • contribs)

Nice article, but it needs to be cleaned up a bit, especially exclamation marks and "happy" remarks. EpiVictor 14:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

First pass of a cleanup done.

After all the hype of faster CPU MHZ speed computer enthusiasts are starting to pay attention to spindle speed and other factors affecting performance of the slowest device on the PC – Drives. This could have caused the X-10 failure No one cared how fast the computer read or wrote data- just how fast it crunched the numbers. CDROM’s with their X speed race were the exception. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Holidaypepsi (talk • contribs) 16:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
