I can send you a few actual 3.5" floppy disks.
If you are extra nice I can even throw in a few 5 1/4" to impress the ladies

I’ve got a TRS80 and a Zaxxon program disk, but my DOS disk won’t boot. I’ve also got Oregon Trail. Talk about a panty dropper.

How many times are we going to discuss this?
If you need my attention please tag me correctly, I can’t read every thread

I think just using an actual 3.5 floppy would be cheaper.

I still have three versions of lotus notes on 6" Floppy’s around here somewhere.
That aside should be putting in order with IMR on Friday for some 20700Bs

Fuck I threw out hundreds of them the real thing when my work moved to a new place. I even had the 5 1/4". I was sitting on a gold mine and didn’t know it put them in some epoxy and bam high end retro coaster.
