So I guess it's mostly just a hobby thing. I can understand collecting, and even sharing within a defined group. It just seems like putting themselves out there as distributors would be risky. But then again, some people thrive on risk.
SS Grandma,

I remember when the 8" floppy, which was before the 5-1/4" floppy was the hot ticket. Also remember designing a disk controller for a 29MB (yes MB) disk that was the size of a wash machine. Those were the days - early 70s.
