Generally I'm disinclined to buy floppy disks, but there
are some programs, like Gauntlet II, that won't run over
drivewire. Floppies are inherently unreliable.

is interesting, but a little spendy unfortunately.
Now then, my deluxe joystick could be replaced...
By the time I buy a floppy drive and 50 disks for
it, I'm closing in on the SVD. Would the SVD work
with Gauntlet II? Does the IBM feed it the data over
a serial link or is there onboard memory?
I'm surprised there hasn't been an effort to make a
drivewire friendly replacement for Gauntlet II, but
then the audience for that is pretty small.
