I use to have before the fire, a box full of about 50 different 3 1/2's
My eon's ago i was responsible for evaluating 3 1/2's for Tektronix.

Three different types, and you should have seen all the rev's Sony
went through.

The part I remember the most is the convincing the now loosing camps
use to try to put down the Sony design.

I'll see if I still have some of the doc's and such, if i do, I'll put
them on a web site.

Did Seagate and/or Shugart get into making 3.5" floppy disk drives
around
83/84??? Anyone have pics of very early 3.5" disk drives?
