@movq@tilde.zone @pluralistic@mamot.fr fun fact: if one knew where to punch the notch, the black floppies would store colour data as well.

@movq@tilde.zone A 5"25 diskette with a label speaking of 3"5 one? That's strange. (And it misses the customary user made hole punched to make it double sided...)

@movq@tilde.zone Oh well, I was very happy to switch to 3.5" ones! Smaller, sturdier, and more space

@movq@tilde.zone I've seen them; my sibling had some of them in the early 90s when doing some "computer literacy course" but I have never seen them in "action" 😟

@movq@tilde.zone i have a disk that green color, but it's a 3.5" A friend sent me a 5.25" drive specifically to read one 40+-year-old floppy. I really should get around to that, but it involves reviving an entire Windows machine.

@movq@tilde.zone aren’t those a bit small? Weren’t tall floppies a bit larger?

@movq@tilde.zone Kodak never understood digital. Just couldn't get it. It was their demise in the end.

@movq@tilde.zone I'm pretty sure I still have a functioning drive around somewhere. I suspect any of my old disks have long since succumbed to the bitrot though.
