Floppy disks again

On or about 09:55 PM 10/12/99 -0400, Allison J Parent was caught in a dark
alley speaking these words:

>there were plenty of "odd" disk drives and media out there like the
>Amstrand 3" and the really old sony 3.5".

Don't forget the even odder ones, like Tandy's 2.8", or Zenith's 2.0" 720K
disks... I think those 2" disks were higher than 135TPI, I think they were
close to 200, but the exact number escapes me...

Oh, if anyone has one of those Amstrad drives for sale... I remember
drooling over those when I was young... I have the ad's in some of my old
HotCoCo's (I have the premiere issue around somewhere...) maybe if I get a
chance, I'll scan one in...

Ah well, back to work. Certainly OT, but I have to go sell some Orb drives
before my wife kicks me in the bum... ;-)

Take care,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
