BTW, I have seen a zip drive being stuck into a floppy drive, HAHAHAHAHA
Yes, but the regular CD are being written to ("burned") so commonly now that I was thinking of the mini-CD starting off as ROM intially, with the CD becoming the writeable medium of choice (i.e. instead of a CD-ROM and 3.5" floppy combo, you would see a CDRW and mini-CD ROM combo - see, the CD becomes the writeable medium 'replacing' the floppy in a sense, and the mini-CD is the ROM medium, playing the role of the CD in pre-burner days). Just all speculation anyways.
