Despite the 3.5" Magneto-Optical format's many advantages - A much larger, more reliable and resilient storage, bright backlight, and a high-resolution active matrix colour screen - it still failed to make inroads against sales of the older ubiquitous greyscale 3.5" floppy disk.

A picture of two disks on a beige background. On the left is a normal 3.5" floppy disk with a greyscale display showing the contents, and on the right is a Fujitsu 3.5" magneto-optical disk also showing the contents but with a colour backlit display.

Adding an E-ink label that automatically updates to show the disks file list would be neat! Before I had a computer with a hard drive, I had A LOT of floppies, most of them not so well labeled. I sent a lot of time searching for a given file across multiple disks!

What's wild is we almost had this in some early thumbdrives... How cool would it be to be able to grab th nearest SSD and check the files on it without plugging it in?
