Have you ever come across a 3.5" Disc Drive that wouldn't accept a 3.5" disc. I came across this about 15 years ago.

Most of you may know this but some of the early 3.5" drives used a manual disc drive, where the shutter had to be opened manually.

I have come across these discs from time to time. Here is a video I made of how they work.

Note: Not sure why the video says "Auto Shutter" since it's actually a manual shutter. Guess I need to update the video.
