If anyone needs, or even just wants one, I still have a couple of hundred left. Why? I just haven't been able to force myself to throw them away. Seriously, if anyone wants some, just let me know.
I still have a couple of 8 inch floppys around here somewhere. Does that date me?
Those 8 inch floppys held an amazing 170K.

I still have a few that work, very few. I had the top of the line disks that exceeded all specs. (I used to manage a disk duplicating department as well as being head of quality control.) I have thrown out about 300 that have failed already.
They are all getting so old that the surface of the oxide layer is starting to come off. They will not format. It is the main reason I am converting my Orbiter to the EP module. that module allows the machine to connect to a computer. (What a unique idea.)
