[Bill Gunshannon]

Mostly PDP-11 but I still have some 8" CP/M disks floating around, too.

Hello Bill.
Just curious, what system do you use the 8" diskettes with?  Let me guess, a TRS-80?

I have at least that many also.  When new programs are unloaded to the archive I actually download and put them on physical floppies

I was under the assumption that these stopped being made ages ago, but as I listen to CoCoTALK getting caught up, I hear talk about using them. Are folks really using 30 year old media?
