Oh boy, the comments for my floppy disk punch video are great. There is quite a bit of polarization happening. Some remember this hack fondly, others say it's overrated, or even BAD for the disks!

What is your opinion?

New video: Floppy Disk Punch

Back in the 1980s floppy disks were expensive. And many early floppy disk drives were only single sided, which means they only had one read/write head and would only use one disk side. Both Commodore and Apple-II users quickly figured out that you could flip the disk around, if you punched a hole into the other side of the disk.

It uses tiny-tiny #floppydisks

It's a Cannon RC260 from 1990/1991

I wonder if the disk works? I'll have a play later. #retro
