Oh man you really do go back!!! In school we had access to a working

micro system look like a paper tape reader or card reader. I think
the 1100 was based on the 4040 chip(s).
IIRC, the PDP-8 predated floppies. We had a PDP-8i at work and I used
to toggle in the rim loader occasionally.

The micro system used the 8" which had the code that made it look like a
paper tape reader to the PDP-8. And yes the PDP-8 did proceed the
floppy, this was some time after.
