[AT] OT - Malware blocking program and MM Heads

[Snelling, Wayne K]

Well actually there were some 8 inch in Tandy's Radio Shack and IBM Office Machine had 10 in "disc" in them and yes we had 160 k single sided 5.25 before going to the double sided 360k. Apple had their 5.25 before going to smaller. I actual had a Farm program setup on the early 360k and that was an exercise in swapping disk..but it worked and seemed to be more efficient than charting paper. I would not call them the "good ole days" though!
Now anyone know what a set of MM R heads either Re101-A or 10A1462 would cost and /or are they available?

They were 5.25". Do you remember the expansion modules for atari or
commodores? They were 32K and as big as a paperback. The machines had
something like 16k built in and these expansion modules gave you HUGE
amounts of storage : >).
