I assumed thats what Andrew refers to as well.

The only thing, or format I can't read anymore is 8", the old drive is long
since departed, dried caps (could have fixed) and to many other things
wrong so it was thrown out in a big cleanup I had last year.

Mag, tape, disk, opticdisk, harddisk, DEC, Xerox, CPM, you name it, I can
probably read it. Even still have 2 DEC rainbows with 400K drives
but with software like Alien, poor thing hasnt been fired up for a while
since I last played moonlander.

Cheers
