On the original floppy's being in cardboard...
I have a very ancient Dicom 7 1/2 inch dual floppy disk system, and some
media for those
bizzare Memorex drives. Indeed, they are made from cardboard. Its been
impregnated and
pressed into a composite material, but it clearly is cardboard.
Does anyone on the list know anything about these ancient 7 1/2 inch
Memorex floppy drives?

Dear Topco,
I've created a web page to publicize and discuss the horrible
misinterpretation of the facts of the history of computing

I'd like to talk to the person who wrote and designed this box.
I'd like to offer to serve as a consultant to help you design
more accurate and more entertaining cereal boxes than this.
Sincerely,
