Niclas Hedhman8" floppies were in fact so floppy that if the slot were horizontal you needed two hands to insert them. I never worked with those other than seeing them used at customer/suppliers of my first job.
The 5.25" floppies were less floppy and were used both horizontally and vertically.
Don't recall the size of the 8", but guess it was in the ~200kB range.
5.25" were 90kB (single sided, single density), 180kB (single sided, double density) and 360kB (DS/DD). Also some other odd formats.
