There is a firm here called CPC, in Preston, UK that still sells them BUT they
are VERY expensive and you have to buy 10 of them. If you still want them I
can dig the address out for you.

Isn't 3" a Japanese-market format? If
so, I'd bet you could find them for
sale on a web site there.
Well, the drives were certainly made by Hitachi (and possibly others), so
in that sense it did come from Japan. But then again, 3.5" drives came
from Sony, didn't they?
The 3" disks were quite widely used in the UK by the popular Amstrad
machines (the CPC664 and 6128 home computers and the PCW series of word
processors). The Tatung Einstein also used them.
Thank you,
