We shoehorned windows 3.0 on one I think, it must have been mildly big. It took 20 minutes to boot.
Although the more I think about it the more I think they were 5 1/2" wide or bigger. And about .25" thick. Anyone seen one of those before? |
SyQuest drives. We had some for the Mac IIcx. 44MB each and they were pretty much a hard drive platter in a grayish case. They sometimes came in the mail DOA.
