07.008 Where the heck can I buy the double density (DD) 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes required for my Apple II drives?
Here are places to try ...
Grace Ashley (352-748-7739, http://apple2software.htmlplanet.com/ ) sells Apple
II educational software and 'blank' 5.25" diskettes
Albert Franklin (email: jfrankl1@mindspring.com) sells 5.25" DS/DD diskettes.
XDR2.com ( http://www.xdr2.com/ click on "Disks") sells 5.25" and 3.5" DD
diskettes in bulk (e.g. 50 3.5" for $13).
Meritline.com ( http://store.yahoo.com/meritline/floppydisk.html ) sells 3.5"
DD diskettes in bulk (e.g. 100 for $14).
Peripheral Manufacturing, Inc (800-468-6888; email: periphman@periphman.com )
sells 5.25" DD diskettes in 10 packs ($2.95) and 50 packs (with sleeves,
$15.00)..
Commodore 64 & 128 Products ( http://www.oldsoftware.com/Commodore.html search
the page for disks for sale) sells 5.25" & 3.5" DD diskettes.
Check the non-Apple sections on eBay. Sometimes you'll see boxes of a thousand
disks going for the cost of shipping -- if they're listed outside of Vintage
Apple they seem to go a lot cheaper.
Thrift shops: you may find packs of used 5.25" DD diskettes at bargain prices.
