Charlie Stross@syllopsium @Rairii @th Not to be confused with the demented 2.5" floppy disk used by the Zenith MiniSport (I still probably have a couple lying around somewhere). About the width of a credit card but only 2/3 the length, looks like a 3.5" disk that shrank 50%. They were remarkably good, all things considered, but rare as hens teeth and generally ridiculous.
(The MiniSport came with an external 3.5" drive. Later MiniSports ditched the 2.5" drive for a far more practical 20Mb hard disk.)
@syllopsium @Rairii @th Yes, the Zenith MiniSport's 2.5" floppies held 720K. In every respect they behaved just like a miniature DSDD 3.5" floppy.
Stewart Russell@th it ruled in the UK thanks to Amstrad. Best floppies EVAR

Tor Lillqvist@th Sounds like witchcraft. Salem, Oregon? Close enough to confirm the suspicion.

@th Ciscobolos: like the Discobolos, but throws network equipment
Mark T. Tomczak@th "... but it helps!" Vaudeville tapdance number
Riley S. Faelan@th Btw, as far as I know, COBOL never became particularly commonly used in the Eastern Block, and so the Commonwealth of Independent States is unlikely to have many important systems running on COBOL.
John Brewer@th In other news, Elon Musk declared “COBOL” a slur on X/Twitter.
