When I was storing many RK05 carts, long ago, I
had a 7 foot high steel shelving unit. For what
ever reason, it was supplied with holes drilled
in all the shelves, a few inches apart, in a neat
row about 2 inches from the front of the shelf,
and in another row across the back. I used cheap
paneling to close off the back of the space
between two of the shelves, and the sides, to
keep the dust out. Threaded rods through the
holes at front and back left gaps about the right
size for the packs to be stored on edge. I even
constructed a cover out of 3/8" plywood, with a 3
inch lip around it to accommodate the fact that
the shelves were about 2 inches too shallow.
Don't have shelving like that? You'll have to
come up with something else. Maybe wood shelving with 3/8" dowels between them.

Does anyone have recommendations for affordable/DIY
space-saving
storage for disk cartridges?
I have ~30 or so RK05, RL01, & RL02 disk cartridges that take too much
floor space in my workshop. I store them vertically, like vinyl
records, but the floor isn't the best place for them. :P
Does anyone have a design/photo of a DIY shelf for safely storing
their disk cartridges, using the least "floor space" possible?
Thanks,
Bob
