Floppy Disc

Once upon a time... these are cutting edge technology. This one is 8.5 inch, not the biggest one. I remembered a much bigger one back in year 1990 when I was working in Motorola Seremban but I could not remember its dimension. It was really really bulky and heavy. You need 4 persons to carry the floppy drive! Now, can you imagine the size of the computer if the floppy drive is this big? Luckily there are 5.25 inch floppy drives and it was popular until SONY (if I'm not mistaken) design 3.5 inch (in full plastic casing) which was a hit.

How many of you still remember it? I guess not many seen it or heard of it.

Those good old times...
