On: Floppy Disk Museum on a Bootable Floppy serving from a 286 PC

I remember the term being printed on the wrappers the floppies came in, like this: https://wundery-uploads-production.imgix.net/18634a79-e47e-4...

It may not be the colloquial name but it surely was used. And of course only knowing 5.25s and 3.5s, it sure looked weird that the bigger one was called "mini".

Similarly 3.5" disks were formally called "micro floppy disks" and often used to often be called that on packaging though, so it all makes sense: minicomputer/microcomputer <-> mini floppy/micro floppy ;)
