Hi Ben
Yes, one can take normal disk and punch them. They do
need to be accurately done. I've been looking at setting
up an index wheel to do just this. I have need for
doing it on 5-1/4 and 8 inch so it is an interesting
problem. One of my 8 inch applications has index holes
on the outer diameter of the disk.

It has been a while since I had the machine
running. I can
fire it up and check what I have. The only issue I have for
making copies for others is the media. I only have a few
hard sectored disk. For some reason, I thought that disk
formats would last at least as long as 33 lp records. I
didn't realize at the time that media was being obsoleted
as fast as it was produced. I know better now.
The funny thing some small record companies still produce
records.You can still get records, but not the crappy $7.95 k-tell
stuff, but higher priced and higher quality audio.A good
record changer and other assorted parts ( like a clean record)
is better music wise than any CD.
Can a regular disk be punched to make hard sectored disc?
