Sinclair also produced a 3" FDD. I had one in my CPC6128. I was chuffed to bits with it at the time.

I remember the Microdrive being announced. Guy Kewney in PCW called it out straight away as being a tape drive at a time when many thought it would be a disk. His logic: if it was a disk, Sinclair would have called it that, as a new disk drive would be much more marketable than a tape drive. Time passed...
...and it was finally released, and it was indeed a tape drive. This sort of thing was why PCW was such essential reading in those halcyon daysComment
