I don't know about any records, but AIX on floppy disk was a binder 
about ten cm thick, with floppy-pouch pages, 8 3.5 inch floppies to the 
page, front and back, and roughly 15 or so pages per binder.  When we 
stopped using AIX for anything and surplussed the disks, I tossed them 
all in a big box and we have been over-writing them for several years 
now to drop anti-virus updates and the odd small file for student 
distribution.  (Nothing will fit any more, all the files are too big 
these days, and nobody has a floppy drive anyway, so we've loads of 
spare disks now just taking up space....)
