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?
Zenith used 2" disk in one of their laptops, I think it was called a Mini-Sport.
I've found the machines and disk on both E-bay and at hamfest. I used to have two
drives and about 13 or 14 disks but gave them away. Mike Haas got them.
I gave Don Maslin the 3" drive and disk that I used to have. You can try to talk
him out of them.
There was a 3 1/4" disk advertised on E-bay just recently. I may have the
seller's address if you can't find it by searching E-bay.
