I was told that, just before the QL was due for release, someone showed 
Sir Clive one of the 'new' 3.5" drives and said it would fit into the 
same space as the microdrives. He is reported to have said 'That will 
never catch on'
This is probably an apocraphal (is this spelled right Geoff ?) story but 
I like it.
