The 3 1/2" floppies are actually floppy - inside their hard case. Same 
disc material as the 5 1/4" floppy (or the 8" for that matter - I still 
have a couple of those but nothing to read them on).

I have a USB port 3 1/2" floppy drive that will do fine up through W8.1 
I use it if I want to sneaker-net stuff to one of the Amigas.

I even have a little solar-powered calculator housed in a 3 1/2" floppy 
case. When you slide the metal protective slide to one side it exposes 
the photo cells and the screen. It's one of the last remaining pieces 
from my Megabyte Computer Works store. But, I sure sold a lot of them 
back in the day.   Bv)=

      Title: Biscotti Di Cioccolati
 Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Citrus, Nuts
      Yield: 48 cookies

      3 lg Eggs
    1/2 c  Oil
      1 c  Granulated sugar
    1/2 ts Vanilla * 
      2 tb Grated orange rind
  2 1/2 c  All purpose flour
      2 ts Baking powder
        pn Salt
    1/2 c  Cocoa powder
    1/2 c  Whole filberts (hazelnuts),
           - almonds or pine nuts;
           - toasted and chopped (opt)

MMMMM-------------------------GLAZE #1------------------------------
      1 c  Confectioner's sugar
      3 ts Milk
      3 ts Lemon juice

MMMMM-------------------------GLAZE #2------------------------------
      6 oz Semi-sweet chocolate; melted

MMMMM------------------------EQUIPMENT------------------------------
      1 md Mixing bowl
      1 lg Mixing bowl
      2    (to 3) baking sheets
      1    Wooden cutting board

  * you may substitute another flavour such as orange or
  rum

  Preheat oven to 350oF/175oC.

  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil,
  sugar, vanilla, orange zest and nuts.

  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking
  powder, salt and cocoa powder.

  Gradually mix the flour mixture into the bowl with the
  eggs and using a fork, incorporate the flour until you
  have a dough. The consistency should be sticky and oily.

  Form the dough into two loaves, about 2" wide X 1" thick.
  Place on greased baking sheets and bake loaves about 20
  minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes
  out clean.

  Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

  Place a loaf on the wooden cutting board and using a very
  sharp knife, slice across the log diagonally making 1/2"
  wide biscuits.

  Cut the loaf as you would slice a long loaf of French or
  Italian bread.

  Return the biscuits to the baking sheet, laying them flat.
  Bake again for about 15 minutes per side, or until they're
  lightly toasted. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

  Place chocolate into either a double boiler or in a
  microwave safe bowl to melt, being careful not to over
  cook it. If the melted chocolate becomes too thick &
  unmanageable, stir in a little butter, a teaspoon at a
  time, until it's creamy again.

  Place biscuits on wax paper and using a spoon, drizzle
  them with glaze or melted chocolate in a zig-zag pattern.

  I have all my family's Italian recipes on a floppy and I
  can download them onto TKL for you anytime. - Gail Raphael
