Subject: 5.25" DSDD / QD (96tpi) Floppy Disks
Anyone need any 5.25" floppy disks?
I have just been given three large crates full - I estimate somewhere between
2000 and 3000 disks.
All of them are either marked Double Density or "Quad Density" which I believe
is a marketing term for Double Density 96tpi. They should all work perfectly
in BBC drives, or any other DD drive.
The vast majority are Inmac branded, but there are a few other brands in
there as well.
The catch is that I was given them with the strict proviso that I must wipe
them before passing them on to any third party, so I will need to re-format
them before giving them away, so if you want a large quantity I'll have to
make a small charge to cover my time!
If you just want 10 or so, they're probably free, depending on popularity :-)
I can't do anything for at least three weeks, so you've got a bit of time
to decide whether you want any or not.
Any interest before these go through the shredder?
