I've worked on 'THOSE' controler and used those large floppies, we had a 'test' 
controller I guess you could say to configure other controller throughout the 
company, yeah what a blast :(

Not now these days. Last one I received was just before 2013 when we still have 
a tape robot. Just a little double check of that write-only tab and a fast 
iebcopy job and you're in.

This is what I do on my CDs and DVDs when making double/triple backups! I 
recycle those stickers which came with those 90 mm stiffies (also called 3.5 
inch stiffies). 


Ok: pre-Friday Trivia - Who of you worked with those 200mm floppies when 
reconfigure those 3270 terminals on a 3272/3275 or similar control unit?
