It hasn't wanted to boot up for the last ten years or so, but I have a Zenith Minisport HD with a 2 or 2.5" 20 Meg hard drive. Before that, I had a Minisport with the 2" floppy drive in it. That was interesting. I think I paid $30-40 for a ten pack of floppies. Bought it new for $400, sold it in perfect condition for $200 when I bought the one with a hard drive and an external 3.5" drive. IIRC the 2" floppies were 720kb, just like the low density 3.5" were. There were also 8" floppies. I have one and only one somewhere, I can't even remember what computer I was using that I had to store my homework on 8". Maybe it was the CDC Cyber 200. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
