I found this object while unpacking. I know what it is, even though I haven't had reason to use it in, oh, 16 years or so.

Do you know what it is?
(The thing on top is a plunger which presses straight down, and springs back up when released.)

Date: 2008-08-15 05:19 am (UTC)you remind me that I still have a disturbing large collection of 5.25" floppy disks sitting in a box at home that I have been meaning to go through and disk image and see what is on them. Gems like DOS 2.01 and Zork for the TRS-80 Model III, to be sure.
never mind the even larger collection of 3.5" disks (in the hundreds).
I wonder if anyone has ever made a 5.25" USB floppy drive...
