The Canon Xapshot took a VFD or Video Floppy Disk. The disk measured
roughly 2.5" and stored analogue still images. This was fairly rare, but
was much more common than the LT1 disk that the Zenith Minisport took.
There was another 2.5"-ish disk called the QuickDisk which had a single
track in a spiral. This was most commonly found in word processors,
musical equipment, and the Japanese version of the NES.

Yup, I've seen them. AFAIK, the Minisport
was the only widely-
available system to use them, unless there was an early digicam. No
radical advance in technology, just a different physical size.
Wasn't there a camera (Canon?) that used them? Or was that a DIFFERENT
2.5"? - there were several competing 2.5" (and a 2.9" spiral)
technologies
being shown around that time.
