Anybody ever see anything that uses hard sector 5 1/4 disks? I've only ever
seen one in my lifetime - just curious if they were ever used anywhere else
(the one I saw was used to load microcode into a mainframe CPU)

Commodore, for one, on their older low density drives.

hard sector disks these days?
