Readable? By what machine? Are they single or double sided and what format? (My machines with 8inch: IBM System/23, FTS Series 88 (FTS is CP/M86). I also intend one day to get a PDP running, and connect an RX02 to it.) As usual, shipping to the UK is likely to be expensive. I am reluctant to buy secondhand blank disks, although given the quality of most new disks nowadays, secondhand ones are unlikely to be any worse... I don't think I'll buy disks unless they have something really nice on them, but: If you do get to the point of throwing disks away, please keep the paper envelopes, and I will pay for shipping of these. I am very short (some disks three to an envelope at present) because I also store photographs in them (I get 8 inch square prints back from the developer). Philip.
