Hmmm lets be sane here:

Size of data for AO 640mb
Capacity of floppy disk 1.44mb

Number of times you'd have to copy a segment of rar to the floppy = 640/1.44=444.4 times!

Double it because its 444 times write and 444 times read = 888.

Assume writing one full floppy disk takes 30 seconds (likley much longer though, and 1 disk will die after so many reads/writes).

((30 * 888) / 60) / 60 = 7.4 hours.

So.. buy a usb cd-rom, get it from steam or using your home network would take far less time effort and pain :P
