They made them in scsi, firewire, parallel, usb, and ide. They made 100MB, 250, and 750. (only certain interfaces per size) 

750 can read but not write 100MB disks, so I wouldn't be able to wipe the disks afterwards. 

I may reach a point where beggars can't be choosers but I prefer usb if my parport version doesn't work out. 

I also have a scsi Jaz drive (1GB) which I never got around to mounting in the floppy bay of a SPARC classic to replace the tape drive I had in there.
