Just re-reading an old Compute! article (March '84)
It says that at the time there were "disagreements" as
to which size of microfloppy should be "standard"
It lists sizes of 3" 3 1/4" and 3 1/2"
Interestingly enough, the article also mentions advances
in "vertical recording techniques." One of the companies
listed was supposed to be introducing a 5 1/4" disk that
could hold approximately 6.5 megs of data. Anything
ever come of this?
Also mentioned were laserdisk interfaces for Commodore 64's and Apple II's
purrrty neat!
