Re: Looking for new floppy discs
Mavica floppy disk cameras used 1.44M. Some of the later ones could use Memory Stick in a FlashPath adapter. IIRC the last one or two of that line had a separate slot for the Memory Stick. Dunno why Sony never made a 2.88M Mavica. On Tuesday, November 28, 2017, 3:24:39 PM MST, Aoresteen wrote: Also, what density are you looking for? 400K, 800K, or 1.4MB?

RE: Looking for new floppy discs
Oddball digital cameras are something I have an interest in...and I have a couple of the Mavica's, one of which does indeed have a memory card slot. Another fancier and earlier model I have supports a 3.5" to Memory Stick adapter, though I don't think that one was a "FlashPath", I think that was the name for the SmartMedia (SSFDC, or "Solid State Floppy Disk Card") adapter "disk". I also have a Mavica that uses mini CD-R/CD-RW's. Then there's the Agfa camera that uses 40Mb Iomega "Clik!" / "PocketZip", and the Panasonic that uses LS-120 disks. But...I digress... The most likely reason for not making one with a 2.88Mb drive is that so few computers had such a drive. The appeal of the Mavica was easy transfer, plus a cheap storage medium...not an easy transfer if your computer doesn't support the disk, plus I imagine they were substantially more expensive. Personally, I always thought they were ugly and clunky, plus low quality images, mainly in order to fit more than a couple onto a disk.

RE: Looking for new floppy discs
Keep an eye out at local thrift stores, I see them turn up from time to time. I've started buying them whenever I find them that aren't too expensive, as I know they are no longer being made. The Vintage Computer Forums have a "wanted" section, you could try there too -http://www.vcfed.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?29-Vintage-Computer-Items-Wante d Ebay would be another option, and even Amazon probably has some, though they would be used or NOS. Wesley -Original Message- Good morning, I need a source for new floppy discs. I use a Sony Mavica camera which takes photos onto floppies which I then can put on my 1999 Apple desktop computer. I have had no luck in sourcing new floppies but am sure there is still a need for them & am thinking someplace has them. Any leads appreciated. -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.

Re: Looking for new floppy discs
How many are you looking for? I have quite a stash, and can probably stand to give some up.
