[cctalk] Re: Flipping an 8" diskette

I'm sitting here with a customer's 8" floppy in front of me. The manufacturer's label is simply "Diskette" on both front and back with the usual "Diskette No." legend and "Side 1" or "Side 2" respectively. The curious thing is that this disk is not only a "flippy", but has a *third* index aperture punched for double-sided applications. The holes are accurately placed without any sign of being post-purchase additions. Call it a transitional example. Memorex started off by calling theirs "Flexible Disc" (note the spelling). A bit later Memorex used the "Markette" labeling before giving in with the crowd and calling them "Diskettes" and "Disks". --Chuck
