I beleive the very first ones didn't
Somewhere I have an old HP 3.5" disk with the pinch-to-close shutter.
I've
got a few Shugart 3.5 floppies (before shutters)
I read in one of the HP bopardswapper guidss that
thewre was a covnersion
kit fo the 3.5" drive to allow the use of automatcic shutter disks. The
drives in question were, of ocurse, the full-height 600rpm Sony ones.
What the kit consisted of, and how to install it, was not mentions. I
would assume a complete now loading mechanism/disk holder with the leer
to open the shutter.
Or a CLAW to rip the shutter off with?
