Remember this old tool? I used to use it all the time. Unfortunately it is now pretty obsolete - it just doesn't work on cds or dvds all that well.

Don't know that gadget at all Bob. Good to see you back to drawing again. It's been a while. Happy new year to you and your family.
Looks good Bob. I haven't seen one in a long time. I'm not sure if it is for 5¼ or 3½ floppy disks.

A good, clean and accurate drawing. Very nice.
(It doesn't work on 45s either)
"Intbel" ... "Can't" is not an option.
Compliance is futile. Resistance is futile. Just do your own thing an' ignore 'em.
Bob,
Happy New Year. It's been a while since you posted a tool image. I've no idea what it is.

The "disk notcher" was a tool used to take advantage of BOTH sides of a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk. Manufacturers of the disks provided one notch that allowed the disk drive (I had/have 2 1541s) to access the information stored on the disk. Some creative person found that by adding a notch in the other side of the disk the user could then flip the disk over and use the other side. The 1541 was part of the Commodore 64 family.

I remember the 1541 drives. There should be 4 of them upstairs in the attic, although maybe not as I recall letting my nephew use the Commodore 64 and all the drives about 10 years ago.

I was a big fan of the Atari computers, myself. My first Atari 800 had 16 K RAM and when I increased it to 64 K it was HOT! My serial number was #258, and was hand-written. There were sticky notes inside from technicians telling what they had done. And believe it or not, I still have it!
It stored programs on cartridges, and data on audio tape.
When I got my first disk drive, it cost over 400 USD, I considered the floppy notcher a great tool.
That image brings back some great old memories.

Clean Bob. But you are correct, it does not work as well with CDs or DVDs.
