Its cool, but would be far better if the mech was
available with it....
never heard of 4 1/2 media before. I have tons of the Amdek 3 1/4 disks
for its amdisk drives, those a neat, like the hard plastic shells on
them.
THOSE are called "THREE INCH". In addition to being used in
Amstrad
computers, Amdek peddled external drive units for Apple][! and for Coco.
They are nice. Many of us prefer them over the 3.5"
The ones that are called "3 1/4" were floppy cased disk from Dysan.
Despite betting the company on it, and spending a lot, Dysan failed to get
them to become the standard - Seequa Chameleon 325 was the only machine to
make it to market with those drives. I wonder how many of them they
actually sold?
