[ale] a moment of silence please

[Lightner, Jeff]

When I worked at a place with the IBM System 34 (we were cutting edge so
upgraded to System 36) we had an 8 inch floppy auto loader for backups.
I believe it held 10 or 20 floppies.

I remember 8" floppies as well as 10.1MB 2 platter disk drives, where 
one platter was internal and sealed and the 2nd platter was removable in

it's case. And I also had (may still have) Windows for 286 2.0 of course

all on floppies.
