Bruh, I remember 5.25” floppies.
And 5 1/4” hard drives.
Ah, yes, full height 5 1/4" hard drives. (CD drives in desktop computers are "half height")
20 MB BABY! (Slaps the top of his Amstrad 1512 CGA overclocked to 8mhz 8086)
Epson Equity II, with a "hard card". Regular hard disks took up the second floppy drive slot; the hard card let you keep it.
I had hundreds of 5.25" floppies with pirated Apple II games.
I even owned a 9" floppy disk drive and a few disks, but just as a novelty.
We even got that damn zip disk drive for a while. 28k modem days, I was telecommuting via floppy and usps
I have an unopened box of 5.25" floppies in the attic, still in their shrink wrap. I'm not holding my breath for them to come in handy any time soon.
