I had a mixture of DS and SS and had to ship to Australia so it worked out about $8 a disk
in the end but I have three machines that use 8" floppies so I stocked up while I
could.
Don't quote me but I think he bought all the inventory of a company that was (past
tense) making them so there is a limited supply so as the supply dwindles I expect the
price will rise - again don't quote me on this.
Recommend you check out their web site but the service I got from Tom was excellent - he
was very helpful.

Subject: [cctalk] 8" floppy diskettes themselves (was: 8" floppy
diskette storage cases)
With all the talk about 8" floppy diskette storage cases, I was
wondering if anyone had any 8" floppy disks themselves they would be
willing to sell?
This winter I am hoping to start restoring an IMSAI 8080 I recently
acquired, and while it came with one external 5.25" drive, it would be
desirable to connect a "proper" 8" disk system to it as well.
However, the complete lack of the disks themselves makes that project
more or less impractical even once I get hardware set up. So before I
even start that project, I'd love to pick up a collection of 8" media.
Years back I had an impressive collection of CP/M software on 8"
floppies, but unfortunately, they were accidentally left behind in a
move. :-/
