Ditto! I was aware of Twiggy disks, Hitachi 3" as used in Amstrad and Tatung, and of one that I think Fred _didn't_ mention: the 2" 720 kB diskettes used in the Zenith Minisport: http://oldcomputers.net/zenith-minisport.html ... but none of the rest. We all know what 3.5" diskettes were called in South Africa, right? -- Liam Proven • Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • Google Mail/Talk/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven • Skype/LinkedIn/AIM/Yahoo: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 • ČR/WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal: +420 702 829 053
