The nice thing was by the mid 80s there didn't seem to be crap disks. Some guy had a shop in some basement. Commodore stuff mostly iirc. He was selling generic didks. They were cheap, probably 4 for a dollar. I never had a problem with a single 1. Can't recall if I ever formatted them to 720k though.
That brings back memories (pun maybe intended). In the late 1980s, you could buy 5.25 DSDD in bulk for $USD0.29/disk, but you had to buy in bulk. So, clubs would buy, or someone would snag 100 or 200 and then dole them out for a bit of profit.
Tons of them here and still in use. -- Jim Brain br...@jbrain.com www.jbrain.com
