Does CF as working storage even approach the
reliability of a floppy?
I can recall running 8" floppy read-write tests for many days at a
stretch.
I missed this first time around.
Of 20 or 30 CF cards I've used, only one was bad out of the box, and
I think a flaky connection killed that one.
Of the last 100-count tray of floppies I bought, at least 15 didn't
survive the first format, and another dozen or so didn't live through
the second overwrite.
That's my math and I'm sticking to it.
