I got 500 new unused 5.25 DSDD floppies on ebay a year ago for $20+ shipping
I think Only problem was they were green and without sleeves. There are
usually 50 pack bundles sold on there.
They come in handy on my c64/c128 (I ahve a metal punch to use both sides)

True, it isn't cheap.
However, unfortunately, I've yet to find a SCSI card for a A2 of any sort
and I wanted some sort of mass storage.
CF does have the advantage of no moving parts. And is easier
to find than "small" IDE/SCSI drives.
CF will also probably still be here in 5 years when I (finally) get
to the A2 on the "Nostalgic list of things to do" :-)

PS: Anyone know where one can still pick up 5 1/4" DSDD floppy
disks commercially? I've not been able to find any, albeit I've
not looked super hard yet either.. Hmmm, mebbe Mendelsons, not tried
there yet.
