What’s the oldest floppy disk you held in your hands?
• 8 inch
• 5.25 inch
• 3.5 inch
• Floppy disk?
I used 3.5” floppies back in the 90s a lot!
I remember that once I was copying NHL’97 from a friend on 100 FD only to realize it won’t work on my 486 machine (it required Pentium instructions to run).
In the early 90s I used 5.25” but it was not on my computer, it was friend’s.
End of 90s my dad brought me a couple of 8” FD, so I held them in my hands, but never used them with a computer, because there was none to use these around me at that time.
