How many with MD drives? Well, none, actually. If/when MD takes off in the US,
I'm kinda hoping that might change. It's nice to have a dream :)
Zip's are a tad expensive, comparing to MD or especially floppy.
I was primarily making reference to your mention of CD-R use, (a bit big for a
handheld camera, no?) and (extra/inter?)-polating between digital optical speed
and security / floppy-sized convenience and price. (and durability! try
stomping on a CD-R and having it still function cleanly - while not entirely
recommended as ongoing practice, it can be done with an MD)
I would swear up and down that I've seen indication recently of Sony coming
forth with prototypes of digital video cameras that record to MD, but I can't
seem to find it again. The only reference I did find was to a Sharp prototype
from '96 that hasn't hit production yet.
I've gotta learn not to stick my toe in the water when I've no idea how many
toothy creatures are down there.. ;)
cheers!

fups should probably go elsewhere...?
