Its been a while. Still got the 8 in. floppies though.
I was slumming, as the CP/M on my home computer was running on digital data packs on a Coleco Adam. An 80 record sort in dBase II took 45 minutes.
I wound up doing my thesis on an Osborne I (CP/M Wordstar 3.2) with dual 5.25" floppies, but had no way to print it out (fresh out of IEEE-488 printers). Thank the Lord for PC-Uniform, which converted the Osborne CP/M into something a DOS WordPerfect could read!
I just recently disposed of my 50, 68, 72 and 80 pin SCSI cables. I did not hold onto my ETOS DECtapes or paper tape. Never had anything that took 8" floppies.
