I remember buying a magazine with this floppy disk attached, blew my mind back then. Great marketing from QNX at the time.

Exactly my thought when reading the title. I remember it took a bit of time to boot because my floppy drive was glacially slow at seeking, but once there it was incredibly reactive.

As a wow factor it probably comes a close second place to when I got to experience BeOS hands-on (which was like, how is that even possible)

That bit of web archaeology was very helpful, much appreciated!
