Some Akai samplers also used the QuickDisk. Apparently, these was also
referred to as 3" diskettes, according to Wikipedia.

Huh? 3" floppies too!
That means there are 5 different floppy disk
sizes that I now know of:
3"
3.5"
5"
8"
12" (used on a special Sony Laservision machine)
Are there any more??
Yes, 2" as used in the Zenith Mini-Sport laptops. (Reminds me. I need to
dig mine out and do something with them.) Also I seem to recall that
there was a 3.25" floppy but I've never seen one.
