[time-nuts] Any thoughts on best rubidium?

Another option is to replace floppy drives in equipment with a drive
emulator - basically looks like a floppy drive to the spectrum analyzer (or
scope, etc.) and reads/write data directly to a USB memory stick on the
front. Check ebay #180616904079 for instance, $35.

Which equipment will work with which emulator is a question of trial and
error (or seeing reports of someone that converted specific models before).

You can get floppy drives that connect via USB.  Frys has one for $22.

If you have a fancy box that you like and it has a floppy, it might be worth

getting (or hanging on to) a reasonable PC that still has a floppy drive
just 
so you can still carry files back and forth.
