NeXT 3.5" floppy drives could do 2.88 MB, but that was at a time when Iomega Zip and Jaz drives were bridging between floppy and writable CD.

- nl 7y ago2.88MB was supported by most drives and was usable under Linux. You were supposed to use proper 2.88MB floppy, but you could usually get away with using a 1.44MB floppy and reformatting. I'm not entirely sure how well they were supported under Windows though.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoIIRC the Windows 95 install floppies were 2.88MB. With that in mind it's probably safe to assume that they were at least readable even in DOS, although I don't recall being able to format or write to a floppy at that capacity in any version of DOS/Windows.
