They were the next evolution in the floppy technology. Working on the 5 1\/4&#8243; disk, shrinking it down and increasing capacity. Most people didn&#8217;t realize that in the early years the 3 1\/2 floppy only had a capacity of 720K of storage. It wasn&#8217;t until later the 1.44MB disks were released. This was toward the end of the Commodore 64 era. I was one of the lucky ones that purchased a 1581 Commodore drive. It was probably one of my best Commodore purchases!\u00a0 (I still have it today)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Photo-2019-07-30-21-20-47_5281.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Photo-2019-07-30-21-20-47_5281-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Photo-2019-07-30-21-20-47_5281-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Photo-2019-07-30-21-20-47_5281-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Photo-2019-07-30-21-20-47_5281-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Photo-2019-07-30-21-20-47_5281-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The 3 1\/2&#8243; floppy disk had the same problem as the 5 1\/4&#8243; in order to increase capacity to the full 1.44MB you had to punch a hole in the disk. You could simply take your drill and easily drill a hole in the disk or you could use the 3 1\/2&#8243; punch.\u00a0 These are super rare! I did an exhaustive search on eBay and the Internet and was unable to find too many examples of them.
