I make an official motion that Fred write his own "Everything I Know About Floppy Disks" page / book /encyclopedia. I suspect that what is inside his head is the greatest collection of knowledge about floppies on the planet.
Fred, you will be paid with great admiration and appreciation. Sorry,
all I can offer. :-)
Anyone with me?

1) Chuck Guzis knows FAR more than I do about floppy disks.
Tony Duell (ARD) knows FAR more than I do about disk drives.

2) It is now so far out of date that, Who would want it? (besides a few here)

3) I've already said most of it; just a matter of gathering it.
I started writing a book on it 30 years ago; never finished.
Now I'm writing an undergraduate textbook on Information Science, which I will also never finish. I find it easier to edit, critique, and contribute to somebody else's than to build from scratch.
Some pieces have finally found places in other people's works.
