Saving a HUGE show file! Floppy Slow!

Alrighty Ladies and Gents:

I'm wondering if anyone's tried to figure out a way to make a faster save happen with a WholeHog II...?

My showfile (which is used 365 days a year, 24 hours a day) uses THREE disks, soon to be FOUR. Updating weekly gets to be a chore when 25 minutes has to go towards each save of the show file. Also prevents me from not updating as often as I'd like when programming...

Has anyone come up with a solution to get a faster save out of the console? I'm assuming the drive can't be replaced with something like a SuperDisk...and I've seen floppys that take flash memory cards that transfer at 500 kb/s...but I believe you have to install software, and it must be a windows machine.

Any ideas? I'm assuming this doesn't come up too much :)

    Sorry everyone!

    Been busy...haven't had time to check, in fact I have to post something else, and I almost forgot I had this post on here! haha!

    Jason, I'll try to do some more unblocking. I've already unblocked most of them, and I haven't cut it down too much. The higher-ups are stuck in a "well we may use it any day..." so are prohibiting any deletion...not to mention deleting cuelists have to be done in two separate locations...I believe you might be familiar with our console, we'll talk later :)
