I don't know if it's the same ones, but I remember seeing some less 
than 3.5" floppies on some electronic musical instruments in the mid 
to late 1980's. Also, I recall reading about some that were used on 
some Japanese made personal computers that stirred up some fuss but 
still failed to catch on in the US around that time. (I think these 
had an OS called MSX, or maybe that was a hardware compatibility spec, 
or maybe something else entirely. It's been a long time.) I never saw 
one of those live though. Seems like these floppies may have been 
around 3", or possibly even a bit smaller.
