Not a _business_, but a couple of non-critical business apps. And, yes, the
microdrives are horribly unreliable. I'm using a third-party drive i/f and a
DSDD 5.25" drive for storage. The i/f was developed (and is still
supported!) by a fellow here in the States. I get 450 KB out of each
diskette, which suits my needs ;>)
