A few years back someone came up with a standard that re-purposed the housing of 3.5" floppies as an enclosure and format for flash memory.

This included a pogo-pin standard pinout for SD, USB (or SATA?) interface accessed via the shutter hole.

Not like the "512GB floppy" which merely stores microSD cards. This formed a cartridge that could be loaded into a reader like a floppy.

Given you can fit 8GB+ on even budget MicroSD cards, such a format could store terabytes.

Does anyone recall that project?
