You are completely wrong. I was reading those white papers in 1984. The
proposals of the time was for 4MB 5 1/4" perpendicular encoded floppy

Look, moron, the fact is that perpendicular storage would have been
trotted out if there were no cheaper way to increase bit density. Your
ignorance not withstanding.

Earlier in this post you said it wasn't old, now you say it is old. What
is a reasonable person to make of that?

It was, and you can learn something if you bothered to look it up.
Moron!
