Man, those few extra kilobytes were way important back in the day!  :roflmao:

How good is the error correction and subfolder (directory within directory) support?  Is it supported by DiskSalv?  How does the speed of access to a file compare to FFS? Can it be used on other devices, like Catweasel?  Does it ramp up to HD floppies?  Or is it a pebble on the superhighway of computing, best left squished between the treads of a tire belonging to a Dodge 1968 Super Bee heading for that curve in the road that it will never make?

Your metaphors are getting stranger and stranger the past couple days, Dan.  You feeling alright?  :)
