Yesterday, I got US Mail from Toshiba about their 4MB diskette
Here are the list of the distributor for 4MB Floppy Disks, subsystems, and
controllers.
I have no connection to Toshiba and those distributor.
I won't be able to answer any question since this is all the information that
I have!
The pamphlet starts!
Toshiba 4MB Floppy Disks
Thank you for your interest in Toshiba Extra-high Density (ED) floppy disks.
The new 2.88MB (formatted) capacity of the ED disk is a significant improvement
over conventional floppy disk technology. As the patent holders of barium
ferrite recordiing media technology -- the bassis of the new 4MB disk and drive
-- Toshiba has licensed the technology to virtually all the well known flexible
disk drive manufacturers and floppy disk manufacturers. As a result, 4MB disks
and drives are currently available from a variety of sources. In addition,
there are several subsystems available that incorporate the 4MB drive and a
compatible controller. There are also several sources for 4MB controllers IC's.
Toshiba offers the following information on 4MB disk drives, subsystems, and
controllers for those interested in adding the convenience of the ED disk to
their present computer system. While we have attempted to include as many
suppliers as possible, this list may not be comprehensive. We welcome
suggestion on appropriate additions to this list.
