Hi All
Fisrt, I have a single hole one that I've used to create 10 sector ones.
It has worked but is tricky to align each hole. Punch the hole
them selves is not rocket science, the alignement is. The punches
will have a keyed location for the index and separate holes
for each of the ten holes.
These will be a lot easier to use. We have none made yet but
I believe we'll have a prototype in the next week or so.
These are for 5.25" not 8 inch. I don't recall 8 inch having
a 10 sector. There was a 16 sector and the more common 32.
As was mentioned, there was one with holes around the outside
as well but I don't know how many holes it had. I have seen
one once.
As for 16 sector, we expect to make a few, based on demand.
Once we have the prototype I hope to have some pictures
to demonstrate how it works.

We are having a number of 10 hole punches made
up. The idea is that
you take a 360K disk and transform it to a hard sectored.
We are hoping to get 18 or more people that wish to buy one of these.
If we can get this number it would be about $30 plus post and package.
Please let me know if you'd like one soon.
Cool idea - has this been tried and tested? And dumb question....5.25" or 8"?
