PENDRIVES?

PENDRIVESs would be good to implement, they work like a floppy disk just don't need a disk tray.

They would have to have some sort of disadvantage, perhaps they can only hold a certain amount of programs or line of code per program?

What do you think?

Pendrives (not USBs, those can by anything) are not old-school enough IMO.

Floppy disks have limited disk space…

Fair enough. I guess PENDRIVES then.

I think floppies are good enough

CC seems to be based around (fairly) early computers, and USBs (I'm guessing you are referring to USB 2.0) were a fair while after that, so I don't think this would fit with the rest of the mod.

Wow. Ninja'd by 3 people.

But they require a disk tray, the unique thing with these are they wont.

Then Pendrives will have less space.

As stated above, what about Pendrives?

I see no advantage to this, a disk drive costs 2 redstone and 7 stone, and if you need more space use peripheral cables.

But you can't carry a disk tray with you, what if you wanted to take your program to another computer without moving the disk drive?

Disks and disk drives cover data portability. Locked.
