The term you may be looking for is floppy diskettes. It goes Hard Disks, Floppy Diskettes, Compact Discs.
The Old 5.25" were FLOPPY!

The three-and-a-half were floppy too, but you had to break them open to see it.
Before the five-and-a-quarter where the eight-inch diskettes. I have a large number of them I picked up at a surplus store. I have made a mural on my wall of them. |

The 5 1/2" were Sloppy Floppies.
The 3 1/4" are Hard Floppies.

Re: Computer Combat ?
Havn't heard much from you, or your sock, in a while. Nothing to say about the thread implosion?
Oh, and I think you have the fractions mixed up.

Re: Computer Combat ?
Hello Loser,
I have been busy. If it's not overtime, then it is vacation time.
Take care.

As loser says it's 5 1/4" and 3 1/2". I found the 5 1/4" funny, you could literally throw them down the room, they would stil work.
I tried it once with a 3 1/2", well, they aren't as "flexible"

Re: Computer Combat ?
Thanks, everybody. I ended up using the Simulator to test boarding ships vs. MC ships. Works like a charm.
