milry62 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just getting into the IIc and I want to use ADTPro to burn disk images so I'm going to need blank discs that actually work. If anyone is looking to get rid of some I would take them off your hands. If anyone is looking to get rid of ANYTHING IIc related, I might also be interested. Thanks!

trash_44fr Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 You can try http://www.floppydisk.com/5point25 They have new 5.25 floppies. Be sure to use DS/DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I wonder what their source is? Looks (and makes sense) that all the disks you purchase from there are recycled/recovered disks from estate sales, large lots on ebay, and from disks people send in. They remove the label and sell them to you. Untested. Uncertified. You have to do that on your own with whatever program your computer features. THAT'S why some have hub rings and others don't it's a mix of whatever they have on hand. The best disks you can hope for today are new-old stock and they seem to be priced at $29 per box and up on ebay. It is also important to know that there are no new 5.25 disks being made today anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have been watching DSDD disks on eBay for a while. This one in particular has my attention, though I am certain I am set on 5-1/4" disks for the next very long time. I have had good results with boxes in their factory seal as these appear to be. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 262734812934 As always, YMMV, caveat emptor, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 50 for 60 is a good value. Anywhere between $0.50 and $1.00 per disk is a reasonable price. These are new-old stock and should be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milry62 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thanks everybody! I'll probably be getting discs through Ebay at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
