    Yep. A 360Kb double sided, double density floppy.

    I have a 5.25" drive in my server "just in case". It is about 17 years old.

      Huh? What possible difference does that make to "first man in space"?

      Oh, I see. The usual Merkin revisionism bollocks.

        What's mojo?

            You forgot the "retractable teeth" requirement. That's VERY important.

                    I have a fine collection of obsolete floppy drives; a pair of epson 80 track 5.25" DSDD in a case that's connected to my Tatung Einstein... (cheaper to use than those horrid 3" disks at £4 each)... they cost about £120 for the pair...

                    A DSDD 40 track floppy in a case, that cost £49...

                    A half height (!) 80 track 3.5" Panasonic floppy that cost £75!!! (and it's more like a 5.25" drive as regards its timings, so highly useless on a PC...).

                    Plus a variety of 5.25" HD drives from here & there.
