The Canon Xapshot took a VFD or Video Floppy Disk. The disk measured roughly 2.5" and
stored analogue still images. This was fairly rare, but was much more common than the LT1
disk that the Zenith Minisport took. There was another 2.5"-ish disk called the
QuickDisk which had a single track in a spiral. This was most commonly found in word
processors, musical equipment, and the Japanese version of the NES.

Yup, I've seen them. AFAIK, the Minisport was the only widely-
available system to use them, unless there was an early digicam. No
radical advance in technology, just a different physical size.
Wasn't there a camera (Canon?) that used them? Or was that a DIFFERENT
2.5"? - there were several competing 2.5" (and a 2.9" spiral)
technologies
being shown around that time.
