The rot set in with the move from 8" to 5" in my view. Okay, before the
SA400 they weren't exactly standard but the cut-down interface missed
off the commonly fun fun lines like the one to tell you if the door was
open and the "lock door", to prevent the luser from whipping a diskette
out when you didn't want them to. Oh! What fun we had with that one :-)
