Comment Re:Floppies more reliable than CD/DVD ?! (Score 1) 616

Guess I don't understand. You nudge your case rather harshly many times? Why would anybody do that and be surprised when something fails?

Maybe the real problem was poor quality CD media, or a burner with firmware issues, or BurnProof wasn't enabled and the machine couldn't keep up with the data stream (possibly because DMA wasn't configured for the controller).

Don't get me wrong: I still have occasional maintenance jobs that require a floppy, but would much rather use CD/flash.
