3.5 inch floppies are going to become increasingly difficult to find, in the same way that 12-inch, 8-inch, and 5-1/4-inch floppies before them became rarer and rarer until becoming extinct.
Where'd you see a 12" floppy? The original, from IBM in the '70's was 8"
My mistake. When I saw them in a store in Hafir-Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia, they looked to be about a foot in size. I mistakenly assumed that the 8" mentioned earlier was an intermediate format between the (mythical) 12" size and the 5-1/4" size. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
