Yes they have. I spotted this while at Bletchly Park. For the larger disk ... 4MB/side 100-410mS access 52-157k bytes per sec transfer time. Mark

Smart phone!? Why would anyone call that thing smart? Cancer? Is that like a constellation?

I have an old ferrite core memory board framed in my house.
Some people know what it is, but most do not.
When I explain it to them they just stare in amazement.

PS, I have one of those 14 inch disk platters I salvaged from an old PDP 11/05 system I purchased for $5 USD.

The top white cabinet has two 8 inch floppy disk drives side by side.
The floppy doors slide straight up to access the floppy slots.
You can see a diskette in this image:
