Such an odd word the ' diskette '. Bit like the ' cassette ' which
suggests a lower order of disk or er 'cass'. Odd that after yet
another week of almost exclusively only using the 5.25" drive on
the 1541 I have grown so accustom to the floppy diskette that I
just don't notice any real inconvenience. In truth the only issue
is with the datassette [ small version of a datass ] given that I
have to wait for that to load.
I was trawling through my various 5.25" gems and thought it would
be useful listing them out as I very often struggle finding what
I have. The disk labels can be a little confusing, what with the
usual scribbles on load methods.
Anyway here is a list of my most used of diskettes. I do have numerous
others but as ever they are trapped in books, software boxes and
rather large plastic tubs. Covers most of the bases though. I have
even thrown in a couple of image'ettes of various disks.
I have been told that the 5.25" disks should be all broken and
unreadable. Odd that I never seem to get that problem. I must live
in a zone that is unaffected by such phenomena.
