Left to right:

  • 5 1/4” floppy
  • 3.5” floppy
  • Sony Digital Tape Format, though may be D1D or Data8
  • audio cassette ( often used as cheap data storage in home computers)
  • one of any reel to reel formats
  • punch card

I didn't know floppys (floppies?) got that big! I only recognize the 3.5 inch one from old Windows 98 physical installs.

They get bigger. I saw I think it was an 8 inch floppy once

My first had a 5 1/4, and I’ve seen the 8 inchers, but never had the pleasure of using one.

That sounded way dirtier than I meant.
