Hi,

I'd need a historic of floppydisk as a massstorage media from 8" floppies
up to the new inventions of today.

I'd need some names, dates, physical parameters (diameter, capacity, 
magnetic coating, hubrings....everything related), some general
physical & logical formats, diskdrives ....

Something too about future trends.

For what I'd need this stuff ?? I'll needit for my "lecture" on this subject.

If you know where this kinds of documents live (anonftp) / or you have some,

Please MAIL me.

Thanks in advance,

Willi
