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.)

ah, the memories. I never had one of those actual devices, I just used a pocket knife.

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...
