On the original floppy's being in cardboard...
I have a very ancient Dicom 7 1/2 inch dual floppy disk system, and some
media for those
bizzare Memorex drives. Indeed, they are made from cardboard. Its been
impregnated and
pressed into a composite material, but it clearly is cardboard.
Does anyone on the list know anything about these ancient 7 1/2 inch
Memorex floppy drives?
