I know this is a strange request for help, but I have
done a lot of
searching for sources of odd sized floppy disks, and haven't had much
luck. The 8" disks are not so much a problem, but from what I can tell,
there were 2.0, 2.5, 2.8, 3.0, 3.25, and 4.0 inch formats and finding
even one example has become a challenge for me. Since 3" disks were
popular with the Sinclair systems, these can be had off Ebay, but what
of the rest? Its a personal quest to one one copy of every type of
removable media and if anyone has any ideas, sources, information, it
would be most appreciated. I hope to post the collection to a website
as I don't think it has been done.
I have a Panasonic Video Floppy player that uses a 2" or 2.5" disk to hold
still images. I never have done anything with it, since I didn't know
where to get the disks. The remote for the unit is also missing, which I
was told limits the functionality of it quite a bit.
