Maybe I made a mistake. It was 3 AM. I'm ventromedial on ebay.

Well I hate to be "Mr. Smarty-Pants" however I doubt ANYONE remembers 10" floppy disks. The reason for that is that there was never any such thing as a 10" floppy (except maybe in pron videos). I think what you meant was 8" inch floppy disks, which were first introduced in 1971 by IBM. If you don't believe me check out this brief overview.

And yes, I remember them, as they were still used by some legacy systems/hardware when I started getting into computers.

As for all the rest of that "old" stuff, my dad talked about punch cards and such, and in a university course on "File Systems" at UCalgary, we had to learn about and replicate sorting using multiple tape drives. But that's as close as I've ever come to using any of that stuff.

WRT to old formats, I've heard that NASA has gigbytes of data from the old moon, Mars and Venus missions that have not been researched, and may never be, because they are stored on old tape formats that no longer have functioning machines to recover the data.

see DR I was right before when I said that you were brillant.

Maybe things are getting bigger as I get older! I was pretty sure it was 10"

IBM System 34, 10 disks in a magazine, 2 magazines in a tray….

Like a fish story… the more you tell it, the bigger it gets!

I could say something here, but its inapropriat. (
DR correct my spelling PLZ)
