Vintage New NOS New 8\" Inch 1S/2D 128 Byte Memorex Floppy Disk With Sleeve
Price: US $18.00

This brand new, unused, uncirculated NOS vintage 8 inch Memorex flexible \"floppy\" disk (1S/2D single-sided, double density) with a storage capacity of 128 bytes (!) is a great find for collectors and nostalgia seekers. 

The disk comes in its genuine Memorex protective sleeve for safe storage.  This NOS (new old stock) item would be a rare addition to any collection.


FYI 8\" floppy disks were first introduced in 1971 and were replaced by the 5.25\" floppy disks that were introduced in 1976. 


Per Wikipedia: In 1967, at an IBM facility in San Jose, California, work began on a drive that led to the world\'s first floppy disk and disk drive.  It was introduced into the market in an 8-inch (20 cm) format in 1971. The more conveniently sized 5¼-inch disks were introduced in 1976, and became almost universal on dedicated word processing systems and personal computers.  This format was more slowly replaced by the 3½-inch format, first introduced in 1982.
