can get one dirt cheap!) and I'm wondering if I can use it to pilot my

throw away the PC...

anybody ever tried one of those thing. Or if there is any plan to upgrade
the handyBoad to USB ;^)

It doesn't bother me that much: I haven't used a floppy in two or three years. I have ISDN at home: it's way faster than a floppy ;^). -- Eric (...) (28 years ago, 1-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
