the air when talking to classes about the days of dinosaurs.
That's because I wasn't there...
I have a carton or two of RX01Ks, but nothing for my S-100 CP/M machine (I'd
rather not take a DEC-formatted floppy and overwrite it).
I have several 8" drives that aren't RX01s and RX02s (a TM848 in a DEC clone
with a 3rd-party Qbus card, a Heath H-27, and at least one DS440 or similar).
I haven't tried aligning any of them, but it wouldn't matter anyway, as I
have no alignment disks larger than 5.25".
