Hmmmmm

Back than (1991) I had a 5,25 from Robotron on my miggy, which
used 880k-formated DD-disks.

Not much use for that other than getting my Fish-Disk for
DM 1.20 instead of DM 2.50  ;-)

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@Desmon

Mine didn't need a diskchange command as someone had wisely
clued a small push-button to the closing-knob of the drive
(on the inside of course). The button was connected to the
diskchange-signal on the floppy-port .... voila !

And that the way I bought "brand new", a nice little left over
from East-Germany's IT-industry.
