Where can one find 2.5 inch floppy disks, and other odd sizes

They showed sample drives, made by Tabor?, and disks by Brown, before they finally went with 3.5". They showed them a LOT, and released some "engineering samples", but never seem to have put them into a production machine. The original 3.5" had no shutter. The ones that I have are labeled "Shugart". The next ones had a completely manual shutter. YOU opened it, YOU closed it. Then came the "one way", or "pinch" shutter. You opened it manually, and to close it, you squeezed the corner of the disk. A few drives would open the disk for you, but you still needed to pinch the corner to release the shutter to close it. Some current disks still have the arrow that points to where you pinch it. Then came the current style that opens AND closes it for you. The 3.25" is a much more interesting story (Dysan bet the company on it) At one time, the journalists were arguing about 3 v 3.25 v 3.5, as "shirt pocket disks". MOST of them got it wrong. George Morrow had the solution, "Let's just payoff the clothing business to make 5.25" shirt poskets."
