Pete ! I found a link today to a company that still makes floppies ! Here is the info that I got from a posting: -------------------- Hi all... I've been doing some searching to find out if there are any companies left that still manufacture 5.25" floppy disks, and I found one! David Moorman of Loadstar gave me the name of the company, and I've done a bit of legwork with them to get pricing information (their website doesn't give many specifics), so I thought I'd share what I've found with all of you. The name of the comany is ATHANA International, Inc. Their address is: 24045 Frampton Ave. Harbor City, CA 90710, U.S.A. Phone: 800-421-1591 or 310-539-7280 Fax: 310-539-6596 Website: [link] The disks I found that are ideal for Commodore use are part number 47-7501, which come in an ATHANA box, or part number 47-7501G, which come in a plain white box. These are 5.25 Inch Diskettes DD (Double Sided, Double Density), Unformatted, 48 TPI (Soft Sector). Minimum order is for 2 boxes; each box contains 10 disks. Cost for 2 - 5 boxes is $7.95 each, plus freight. Cost for 6 - 10 boxes is $7.75 each, plus freight. Bulk orders of 500 disks or more are $0.52 per disk. Cost of freight varies, but as an example, I was told that an order of 5 boxes shipped via UPS ground would have a freight charge of $5.25. For any further details, you can call them or e-mail info@athana.com. Oh, and for any of you really old school folks... They also manufacture 8" floppy disks! ;-) I hope this information is helpful for some of you... ------------------- This was posted at the following site: [link] It was from 2006, but I just tried the link and the company is still there... Hopefully this helps. Anubis |
