Ahh, tech tangents. Always worth a watch.
Did some Amstrad machines use the 3" disks? I remember seeing them a few times around the time the world was transitioning from 5 1/4.

  Amstrad PCW 8256 and PCW 8512, along with Amstrad CPC 664/6128, and the Spectrum +3 (made by Amstrad), all sported 3" disks.

  Yep, indeed I have an Amstrad 6128 with those kind of disks.
