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 days

Kids, eh?
Tatung used the same size disks.
Ocean used the "Tatung Einstein" as their development machines.

I'm older than I look. Not quit Zeity's vintage though.
