Properly photographing a 3.5" floppy disk for archival is annoyingly complicated. The label has THREE sides!

I've already built an automated system to take a picture of the front of a disk, but really I need to take THREE photos if I want to get the whole thing.

That means either three cameras or I need to rotate the disk 90° and then 180°, which is going to really stress the limits of my mechanical engineering skills.

@foone what if you put the disk on its side and used a single 45° mirror for each of front / back / side? You could have a trapdoor at the bottom to drop the floppy out once it's photographed.

I like how the ASRock site tells me to update my system by downloading a zip file, extracting it, and putting it on a USB drive or floppy disk

it's 16mb, dude. Which floppy do you want me to put it on? a zip drive? DOES YOUR BIOS SUPPORT ZIP DRIVES?
