My MO project was born from desire to put SCSI Zip drive into CC. Unfortunately Zip disks are a bit wider then CC's floppy hole and I didn't want to modify a case at that time. Apart from that Zips are really small (in size) and not quite reliable. So I did MO upgrade.

And I wouldn't call MO drives "old" - they are very much alive - the last DynaMO drive from Fujitsu has 1.3 GB on 3.5" floppy.

And apart from Zip floppies MO's do not suffer from strong magnetic fields. Also price for the media is much better than Zips (considering the per-megabyte costs). Zips has only one thing better - faster writing time.
