Rumor has it that Fred Cisin may have mentioned these words:
I don't think they made 2.8" floppies, either. Dunno what else used 'em,
but at least one model of Tandy word processor used 'em.
And what about 2" floppies - as in the Zenith Minisport?[1] I know Fuji
made some, but did 3M kick some in?

CoCos... ;-)

Stringy floppy?
[snip] I don't think that 3M ever made 3.25" (Dysan and Brown)
or 3.25" floppies.
