Some information for web searches
The Canon RC-250 "Xap Shot" used 2" VF-50 diskettes
in so-called Hi-VF (Video Floppy) format, which I believe 
was analog single frame video.  The evolutionary missing link 
between the Camcorder and the DigiCam.  Not sure if the 2"
diskettes were the same as the digitally formatable ones.
