I think the job app is just making up terms.

It's like "do you have SSCP certification? how about MTA? JKLW? VVTXY? POVW? FFX2?"

@foone I'm losing track of all these Myers-Briggs types.

We need a different word for "old computer parts" and "parts for old computers". People use "retro" for both.

Like a Packard Bell 486 is the former: it was made in the 90s.

And a PicoGUS is the later: it's an ISA card that can be used in computers from the 90s, but it was made recently.

@foone retro and retro-compatible?

Bad idea: an external floppy drive that can appear as a mass storage device of arbitrary size. The way it works is it has a little screen, and you use that to configure how big you want it to be, then it formats the proper number of 3.5" floppy disks.
Then when the PC tries to read a sector that's not on the current disk, the display will just prompt you to insert disk or whatever.

@foone A floppy disk drive of unusual size?
