Heh, 3" floppies. That format died out pretty quickly apart from a few 8-bit lines. The discs were very robust.

It's a very nice find, and you'll have to play Chuckie Egg now.

Whoah! 3" disks!. I thought these were used only in amstrad computers. I still have my original cpm disks as well as a number of blank floppies for my first computer.


Yup, Amstrad CPCs and PCWs, also later Spectrums, Tatung Einsteins, the Opus disc drives shown in this unit, the Oric disc drive, and probably quite a few other places too.
