Before posting your Resource, please make sure you can answer YES to any of the following questions:
Is the resource ENTIRELY my own work?
If no to the previous one, do I have permission from the original author?
If no to the previous one, did I put a reasonable amount of work into the resource myself, such that the changes are noticeably different from the source that I could take credit for them?
If you answered no to all three, maybe you should consider taking your stuff somewhere other than the Resources forum.
I think the biggest floppy disks were 8". At 64 pixels wide, this drive must be built for floppy disks around 6' wide.
Of course, a realistic size would probably be too small in game. Some of the textures are actually pretty nice. I like the last computer.
As for old computer technology, it amuses me that most people are now playing Doom on monitors that are a newer technology than the monitors featured on the in game textures.

You never used 3 1/4' floppies?
You mean 5¼" or 3½"? The largest were 8". The 3½" were the first floppies with a hard casing and a little sliding door to protect them. That said, they still got corrupted awfully fast. I used to have a big collection of a hundred Verbatim floppies I used to back stuff up or transfer large files (with split on one side and copy /b on the other, heh). After a year, maybe half of them were still working. USB thumbdrives are so much better.
