Which brings me to what kicked off this whole train of thought: The early Atari STs had single-sided 3.5" floppy disk drives, so most commercial software was released in that format, meaning some software needed like a dozen disks you had to constantly swap between. Folks have now modified some of this old software to support loading from hard drive instead. Atari ST hard drives existed in the 80s/90s but would have been ruinously expensive for most home users.
