I love floppy disks. I love how they hold just 1.44MB of data. I really do. But the thought of a floppy disk that can hold 120MB of data, now that's intriguing.

Most of you are fully aware of Imation's Superdisk, so I've created a relaxing video featuring the setup and use, along with some brief history.

Marvellous.

A 120MB Super Disk -- Floptical Disk | Nostalgia Nerd

Old technology, don't you just love it. There was a time when floppy disk was king. Indeed for many, it remains so. But there was also a time when 120MB of data, even 240MB of data could be squeezed on a humble 3.5" floppy disk. This is a relaxing look at that very medium; The SuperDisk LS120 and LS240, floptical disk drives. A range designed by 3M to go head to head with Iomega's ZIP drive and achieve the title of Floppy Disk: The Next Generation.

I always wanted one of those drives back in the day. Never got around to getting one.

So is that how iomega is pronounced? I always thought EYE-o-MAY-gah. YouTube, correcting my mispronunciations decades after they were relevant.
