:-p

The largest floppy (flexible magnetic disk) I ever saw was at least 14 inch.

This was at IBM in 1985 or '86, although I'm pretty certain it wasn't an 
IBM product.  We used it for some sort of audio or speech synthesis 
system.  The drive was a separate box about the size of a PC system 
unit, and the disk occupied almost the entire footprint.  Notable 
features were the envelope - thin white card - and the window therein 
for the head, which ran from near the centre to near a corner of the 
envelope.  (I only ever saw the one disk.)
