I said "floppy drives were shockingly non-standard.", whose fault it was is 
irrelevant. You can't just pick up a drive from one computer and put it in 
another, therefore there is no common standard for the drives.

The floppy drive manufacturers went along with it, with the disk change and 
ready line it appears to have been an option from day one.
