Opening a sealed pack of KAO 3.5" floppy disks.

Circa 1982, junior high: we'd bring our floppies in for trade. We used the single-hole punch method to double-side our disks. Cool kids had a hardened case for their floppies.

We were #Apple ][ people. We were, after all, students at Cupertino Junior High School.

Quick side-tangent:

Atari had a very amusing model naming scheme back in those original home computer days. The 400 and 800 were computer models, but their peripherals took other numbers in the 8## range

The #Atari410 was a cassette drive.
(What we had first.) The #Atari810 was a floppy drive. (What we would get two of later for #DontCopyThatFloppy purposes) The #Atari825 was a dot-matrix printer. The #Atari830 was their direct acoustic modem. The #Atari850 was a weird interface module...

Amusing to check out

I am not sure I've seen a similar model/naming scheme otherwise? Usually the "device types" are split into their own naming/numbering iteration.

...

ANYway...

@foone Does that mean terraformation would be a form of piracy? #dontCopyThatFloppy

A simple advertisement for floppy disks from the time...but I dig the artwork :)

Haha! Best use of SCO Unix media I’ve seen. Erased for the use of C64 stuff :)

#Floppy 💾 disks, write blocker woes, pesky Windows behaviour: this blog post on my (occasionally somewhat hellish) journey trying to write yet another workflow tool for imaging portable media has it all #dontcopythatfloppy:

It should be upgraded to usa #software #OpenSource See "Don't Copy That Floppy" on invidius

For the #digipres #digitalForensics crowd - a few years ago I published a workflow description for imaging 3.5" #floppies, which included a Tableau USB write blocker.

Turns out this device does in fact not work well with USB floppy drives (I have a confirmation on this from the manufacturer). This can result in faulty or incomplete captures. More details in the updated workflow description:

This probably affects other manufacturers as well.
