Cool idea!

Is the terminology correct though?

Looking at the showcased disks, in my youth we called these “stiffy disks” - owing to their stiff plastic casing.

We also had “floppy disks” - but these were larger (in size, albeit with less storage capacity) and floppier (the plastic case would bend easily).

I treasured my burgundy Dysan stiffy disk boxes!
