Lawrence,
Hi. In my humble opinion, the best source for floppies in bulk is your local thrift
store(Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc.). I get 5.25" 360K floppies,3.5" 1.22meg
floppies,3.5" 720K floppies, I have even seen 8" floppies from time to time. I
usually offer 10 cents a disk and the clerk says OK.

For 8" floppies, check out http://www.athana.com/html/disc.html
They sell a box of 10 8" floppies for $20 +/- $1. And bulk 8" floppies
(minimum quantity 500) are $1.75
Has anyone ordered 8" floppies from california Digital? They have double
density 8", but they dont specifically state its double sided.. Still, the
price is listed at $12.95
Whats the best source for 5.25" bulk floppy disks these days?
-Lawrence LeMay Ouch!. 8" disks are difficult to find,
5.25" disks are difficult to find
(what about 1.2 Mbyte ones - are they still available?), 3" disks are
impossible to find. I'd better start hoarding them...
You can still buy 8", 5.25" HD and 3" disks. Trouble is, they may be
*Really*
expensive; I noticed on the Imation web site a couple of months ago that
(from memory) a box of 8" disks was over US$100.
3" disks are still available new from at least one place in the UK, though
they are over 2 pounds each.
