All I could find on this subject is below
But I am curious what were 5 1/4” 720k DSQD disk drives used in and what years ?
We’re these just a Commodore thing?
When I was very young one of my friends had a 5 1/4” 720kb internal disk drive which was apparently worth mentioning in the 80’s though I remember nothing else about the machine
I do vaguely remember 720kb 5 1/4” disks at a local computer store but never thought much about it.
Was this a thing you bought if you had an old floppy controller that only supported 720kb to max out your 5150?
Just curious if anyone actually used these and in what. I can’t say I ever saw commercial software on this format.
Thanks
