Ah...nostalgia. You can get a lot of fun from old gear and applications.
I am a real hoarder and while I have periodic clear-outs, still have a fair collection of old floppy disks.
Including this 5.25" although it is several years since I scrapped the last actual drive.
Mid 80's had a Sinclair QL with a greenscreen monitor. Colour monitors were horribly expensive and the QL only had 4 colours anyway. Down to an emulator now. The first IBM compatible I had was an Amstrad and that ran DOS 3.3, 2 floppies, no HDD.
