You lost the argument so you have to insist that you won because 
me worrying about a floppy drive not working for very long time 
isn't good enough?  DVD writers are still optical drives.  The 
SVD II when it comes out, if it hasn't already, will support 
DSDD disk format.  At that point, nitros9 and hdb-dos should 
work from dsk images that are loaded into it.

Yes I can go dumpster diving or I can buy an as-is floppy drive 
and hope it works, but why?  Using obscenity on me because I
am not satisfied with disk technology in general doesn't make
sense either.

Arguing that I need to do more research is another reason to
avoid floppy drive technology.  I'd rather spend that effort
on figuring out how I can get an SVD II.  In the meantime,
I'll convert coco disks to dsk images on my IBM which has
a 1.2 m drive.
