Andreas SikkemaHill I will die on. Properly using the words #diskettes and #floppies when talking about the 3.5” and 5.25” #disk #drive #mediums.
denz@bix diskette would be correct for 8", 5¼" as well as 3½". Floppy disk is colloquial for diskette because of the floppyness of the 8" and 5¼", but remember, the disk inside a 3½" diskette shell is as floppy as the bigger ones.
