Here I have two boxes of unused '3M 740-32 SS, SD single side, single
density, write protect, 32 hard sector' 8" floppy disks, One box is
still shrink wrapped. Not much use to me as all my 8" floppy systems are
soft sectored.
Trading them for soft sectored disk might be a better option than taping
over 32 holes per disk or adding a sector hole masking circuit to all
the drives...
