What is the objective .. ?

Thanks, that should start me going.
The objective is to create a floppy drive. Not a
magnetic one though

What would be the benefit of this one over what's already "out there" ..?

Beware that I haven't seen any floppy controller doing more than 2 Mbps.
Thus a lowend storage media (pc floppy controller is braindead ontop of that).
