Oooh, when I was at school, in 1986-ish, we had a network of RM Lynx 480Z machines, running off a server that had two 8" floppy drives. One was for the OS and common apps, and the other for less common apps that might be on a number of floppies. If you wanted to run one of the less common apps that was on a different disk then you had to check nobody else was running anything on the current disk before switching over, or Bad Things happened.
