On or about 09:55 PM 10/12/99 -0400, Allison J Parent was caught in a dark
alley speaking these words:
there were plenty of "odd" disk drives and
media out there like the
Amstrand 3" and the really old sony 3.5".
Don't forget the even odder ones, like Tandy's 2.8", or Zenith's
2.0" 720K
disks... I think those 2" disks were higher than 135TPI, I think they were
close to 200, but the exact number escapes me...
Oh, if anyone has one of those Amstrad drives for sale... I remember
drooling over those when I was young... I have the ad's in some of my old
HotCoCo's (I have the premiere issue around somewhere...) maybe if I get a
chance, I'll scan one in...
Ah well, back to work. Certainly OT, but I have to go sell some Orb drives
before my wife kicks me in the bum... ;-)
Take care,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
