I have both (SS/SD, SS/DD, DS/SD, DS/DD)–all soft-sector. Never used hard-sector media.

How could you omit the 8" disks?

How could you omit the 8" disks?

Only time I used those it was not “sneaker netable” it was a mini/mainframe that had a couple drives in it.

We did a lot of sneakernet with 3.5" disks late 80s early 90s. Had a couple of computers at home that uses 5.25, the 3.5 disks.

“Dial-up 1200 baud”

No, too many things would need to be re-logged in, drip system, thermostat, various other iPhones, iPads, MBA, and all the family, friends, the next time they are here…

But the variety of names was a kick, way back when doing that initial setup, too concerned with making it all work to mess about…
