Does anyone have a good source for new DSDD 5-1/4" floppy disks? I've got
a bunch I can probably recycle here, but I'd like to get new ones to use
with my Altos, Osbornes and IBM 5150.
Thanks

Uhm, that URL redirects me to http://www.microcenter.com/, which doesn't
have anything but 3.5" floppy disks.
Any other suggestions?

They were one of the last retailers to have 5.25" disks for sale. I don't
think they've had any on the shelves since they moved to their new digs
a number of years ago.
Any other suggestions?
Flea markets, hamfests. Dayton is coming up...

sealed.

There's a stack of 300 of them on ebay I just bid on... If anyone wants
some (and I actually get them when the auction closes tomorrow) contact me
off-list.

change and all has spoiled them too. I have a 12x12x12 box of DSDD's but
until I can get the Commodore programs off them onto either tape or CD I
cant let them go and it doesn't look like it will be till fall

Pat,
Have you you checked the trift and surplus stores in your area? They usually have them.
If you can't find any I can get some from one of the stores in the area.

I've been picking them up at computer swapfests, and hamfests. Just
about extinct now, so I just settle for used. I'll keep my eyes open
for you.

I just saw 4 boxes at a thrift tonight for $2.92 per box - New. I see
them at Goodwill all the time but pass them up.
