I used both an 8” and 10” Floppy, plus I programmed using punch cards and key punch machine.

I did oversee the spare Priam 14” hard drives for Rolm/IBM. Uses papertape on a PDP 8 instead of cards.

“...I programmed using punch cards...”
Ha... Ha... reminds me when the old Bridgeport milling machines use punch cards to run programs.

I used both an 8” and 10” Floppy, plus I programmed using punch cards and key punch machine. Same, and I learned how to program Assembler language on a Radio Shack TRS-80 with a whopping 64k of memory.
I hope you remembered to number your punch cards in case you dropped them, so you could put them back in order.
