Well, that one is not the "Berkeley Microcomputer Flip-Jig"
Mine was just a simple plexi pocket with holes for MARKING the disk. 
Then, the holes were punched with an ordinary handheld hole punch
I included a stationery store one with a clear blue plastic cover of the 
lower jaw, to avoid scratching the disk and to catch the chad.
