Great for people without a PC link, but you still have to organize your data into disk sized pages which is an inconvenience. If only they were as cheap as regular floppy drives I could see it catching on. What I think would be more interesting is if instead of paging through disks, you paged through your files, as if it generated dynamic virtual floppies. That would take the inconvenience out of the device but still retain full compatibility.

Yes, it is cheap, I buy the current price space as 150 RMB, equivalenting to a beautiful circle just $20, and is the 256MB U disk can imitate 100 floppy disks really

And compatibility aspect, if the U disk capacity is small in the 1GB, so and compatibility very good, I have already tested, if the U disk capacity is big in the 1GB, existence and compatibility problem, sometimes can read to can't write.My English level is limited, hope you can be understand.

I'm still interested, so how would I load a game that splits onto 3 floppy's? I assume if I have it on page 1-3 then page one loads, copier asks for disk 2, I press the page up button and it loads, copier asks for disk 3 and I press the page button and it loads. Is this pretty much correct? If so I am still interested. I am in the US and do not read chinese, how do I go about ordering one with a 256mb unit or 512mb?

YES, if you have it on page 1-3 then page one loads, copier asks for disk 2, you first press "reset",then press the page up button and it loads, copier asks for disk 3 and you first press "reset",then press the page button and it loads.
you can use one with a 256mb unit or 512mb,but it only is used 144MB,and splits onto 100 floppys

Does anybody have a link for a English language site that sells these floppy drive replacements? Also, a clone of this for the Famicom Disk System would be nice.
