i dunno. i remember one time i saw some weird floppies in a sears catalogue that looked like they had hard plastic ridges, like the underside of vacuum molded toys, or, indeed, like those nes floppies. i got into an argument with my teacher, with me insisting these were “hard disks,” and her insisting they weren’t.

Is that 5.25 floppy the same width as the 3.5" or is the guillotine just drastically out of square rendering the 3.5 to fall haphazardly and unguided?

Okay. That doesn’t mean your graphic makes physical sense. Either its perspective or the construction of the machine it portrays are wildly wrong.
