That's the oldest I can remember - early 1970's.

I worked in a financial institution that kept old archived data on those 8 inch disks long after we no longer had the equipment to read them. The regs said we had to keep the disks. They didnt say anything about disk drives.


I actually saw a functional unit at a vendors location back in the 90s. The external drive unit was the size of a small microwave.

Imagine the unit in the gif below mounted in a lerger cabinet.

Played the frick out of Oregon Trail and Carmen San Diego circa '86/'87. To this day, I think they are the only 2 computer games Ive ever played.




Pretty much same here. I tried getting into diablo because all my friends loved it, but rpg's just aren't my thing.
