That reminds me of a project that came to nothing.
Back in the late 80's / early 90's, Trace sold a 5.25" floppy disk
autoloader. A customer thought that it looked like a coffee maker. I thought
it would be a marvellous idea to have such a beast as a display item, but
the mechanical work involved proved to be too much
:-(
