Heh, 2.88" disks were like unicorns. I heard all
about them, but I never
saw them for sale or people using them. That was probably just my limited
view at the time. The 20M floptical in the SGI Indy is like a tooth fairy
riding a unicorn, I've seen pictures, but I've never actually seen one (or
the disks) in person.
2.88M drives were common with first generation RS/6000s. I probably
still have craploads of drives and media stashed somewhere from the
AOL days (every dialup site had a little model 220 buried in the
rack).
