All you had to do was cut your own write-notch into the side, and you could make every single-sided floppy a double.
you weren't a real geek unless you had a big, strong hole punch

I had one of those. But it was black. I had several hundred games for my Commodore 64. About 5 or 6 that I actually paid for.![]()

It still looked real in the theme park too.

Holy crap, I had that exact modem for years! Interestingly, it used a Rockwell DSP chip that was upgradable. By the time I took it out of service, it was capable of doing 33.6kbps. 56kbps required more advanced modem codecs than the hardware could support, so I had to replace it when that became the standard, but that was an unbelievable little modem in its day.
