Floppies as RAID. Yesterday I encountered a text document which had
been scanned and stored as TIFF such that each page occupies roughly
93MB of disk. That's over 60 floppies per PAGE.

I'm glad my RAIDs use something bigger and quicker than floppies.

If it wasn't off-topic, this thread would prompt me to describe
one of the machines under my desk:

P600 CPU, runs Windows 98, has 27 hdd, total about 160GB,
achieved by having 4 on a RAID card in JBOD mode;
also has 4 IDE hdds and a swag of SCSI on two cards,
spread into 2 tower cases and a couple of other enclosures.

Disks are ancient, I'd guess machine MTBF about 10 minutes...

Still, I suppose about as useful as fdd_raid...
