Below is a description of the "paper floppy disk" as given by
an old friend of mine, Dennis Adams <DAdams(a)etcconnect.com>om>,
who once worked on this technology.

The "Paper Floppy Disk"
I did demo
software on a variety of hosts, including the Storm operating system
(multi-user CP/M OS by Ron Fowler, also the author of the popular MEX
communications software), Commodore 64, and IBM-PC XT. We had a Coleco Adam
computer that we briefly considered writing something for, but it never
stayed running long enough to evaluate.
Anyone know if Ron Fowler's still out there on the net somewhere.
I'm a big Mex/Mex+ fan... and still run it occasionally
when I fire up the CP/M and early dos boxes here.
