The IBM 2315 disk was an early removable storage device that could hold around a megabyte if data. The cartridge design became a de-facto standard and other companies like DEC or Diablo would use it to market their own drives which could hold two or more megabytes per cartridge. Finding good spares today however is a lot harder than you might think, so let’s look at this purchase and see if the pack is any good.
(Also I stand by what I said about Radio Shack’s own floppy disks being garbage. Unlike stuff from 3M or IBM, they shed like mad)
