I assume these guys are still in business, and they seem to still
produce 3.5, 5.25 and 8" floppies.

I've not ordered from them, so that is not a personal recommendation,
but I guess there will be demand for a good while yet.

When were 5.25" DD disks discontinued? You can still find them cheap
on ebay from time to time.
I have never used a 8" floppy disk but they are still available.

Subject: the beginning of the end for floppies
Well, as of yesterday, Sony is planning to stop
production of
floppy disks.
Apparently, other companies will still make them, but I'm sure its
only a
matter of time....
