Do you not recall the 64DD? Perhaps not, it was only released in Japan and didn't do too well. The original Animal Crossing as well as a track editor addon to F-Zero X were released on it. The disks it used weren't "floppy", they were "hard". Floppy and hard being terms used to describe the actual magnetic part, not the case. Not exactly massive storage capacity mind you. Which is why each and every game that used it had it's own seperate disk, rather than sharing a single disk.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
