Finding the Correct Items:

Try other search engines, and their images sites.


Or, maybe find some labels that suit your needs on eBay.


This is for an ancient floppy disk. So, look on eBay or put a post on craigslist.

I don’t recall an icon for the floppy eject, but there were definitely sound effects…

USB 3.5” floppy drives are readily available, older 5.25” floppy drives of various sorts are scrounge-able, but slot-loaders with host-eject functions are going to be rare. And there are floppy disk emulators, for those that need those.

Was it MacPuke? ...sorry, I have not used that but maybe I must try it on my Mac Plus (or SheepShaver, Mini vMac or Basilisk II).
