floppies

Doubly so if they want to share what they make like kids used to do with basic on floppies.

To run Doom you just borrowed the floppies from a friend and it would 100% work.

The file splitting feature was particularly compelling when dialup, floppies, and CD-R's were common.

Then later DOS and early Win9x that was first floppies and then CDR based.

Thats easy compared to dealing with old magnetic media like floppies and reels.

Yep, my first thought went to my Amiga days of passing floppies around.

I'd be glad to hear more about using this technique to check alignment of floppies.

An example, there use to be this guy names Fred Fish who would compile Amiga freeware onto floppies and trade them at Amiga user group meetings.

I am acquainted with one of the members of the original HyperCard team, but he says his old floppies are no longer readable.

I remember going to a computer store and seeing a couple racks of floppies with games or home software for $10 or so.

Some of the jewelry was even made out of the floppies I sent, although you wouldn't know it to look at the jewelry.

Macs could eject floppies, PC's didn't have this.

You would also need DOS 2.x to support the 360KB double-sided 5.25" floppies.

I was doing this back in the 80 to check on the alignment of 8" floppies and backup tapes.

I still remember cutting notches in our 5.25" floppies to make them double sided.

I just came across the artist's "floppy disc artwork" by accident while looking around on Etsy, which then prompted the idea to get rid of the old floppies I had in storage.

Floppies haven't been in vogue at all this century.
