Not sure if any computer ever used them, but I
remember having an old
Akai sampler that used a bizarre "Quickdisk" format. The sampler is
long gone, but somewhere I have one or two of the disks, which will be
handy should I ever try to create a magnetic media display of some
sort. I think they measured...2.75" (?) and held...not much at all.
They were used on some MSX home computers, although I have only ever read about them (and
seen pictures). I don't think they were commonplace outside of Japan and Korea. They
were sort of a cross between tape and disk media; data was written sequentially in a
spiral pattern on the disk.
