Editing Exatron Stringy Floppy (section)

== Reception ==
In the July 1983 issue of ''[[Compute!'s Gazette]]'', the Exatron Stringy Floppy for the [[VIC-20]] and the [[Commodore 64]] was reviewed. Calling the peripheral "a viable alternative" to tape or disk, the magazine noted that "under ideal conditions, a Stringy Floppy can outperform a [[Commodore 1540|VIC-1540]]/[[Commodore 1541|1541]] disk drive". [[Texas Instruments]] licensed the Stringy Floppy as the Waferdrive for its cancelled [[TI-99/4A|TI 99/2]] computer and a [[Compact Computer 40]] peripheral which never shipped.<ref name="mace19830530saddle">{{Cite magazine |last=Mace |first=Scott |date=1983-05-30 |title=Texas Instruments in the Saddle |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4S8EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA29&pg=PA26#v=onepage&q&f=false |access-date=2024-12-29 |magazine=InfoWorld |pages=26-28}}</ref><ref name="halfhill198307">{{cite news | url=https://archive.org/stream/1983-07-computegazette/Compute_Gazette_Issue_01_1983_Jul#page/n59/mode/2up | title=Exatron Stringy Floppy for VIC-20 and 64 | work=Compute!'s Gazette | date=July 1983 | accessdate=6 February 2016 | author=Halfhill, Tom R. | pages=58–62}}</ref>
