Mendon Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Anyone got a tip on where you could pick up new 5.25 disks. I've got maybe 30 new ones left and would like to stock up on some more new ones. I haven't checked any of the local computer stores like CompUSA yet but thought I would ask if anyone here knows of a good source for new disks. Thanks in advance!

Fletch Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 B&C have Atari Labeled Disks in Boxes of 5. I bought a bunch last year and were all preformated and of good quality. They also have tons of disks you can buy in packs of 50. I bought a couple of these packs and they are also nice quality. The vast majority of these were DOS 3 disks or had Atari Program Exchange programs on them. I actually picked out a few APE Disks to add to my collection and reformated the rest. B&C are at www.myatari.net. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Actually I believe B&C are at www.myatari.com But yeah that's probably a good place to check. Also ebay from time to time. I've personally found tons at thrift stores. Lot of times still brand new in the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bcombee Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 When you bought your bulk discs from B&C, did they come bare or with sleeves? I need to get some more 5.25" disks, but having sleeves is a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svenski Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Yeah, ebay can be great for disks. You can pick up bulk 5.25 disks quite cheaply, sometimes around $5 for 50 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendon Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 I just made a purchase from B&C for a monitor cable and disks. When I talked to them, they had several different packages available from new-boxed disks (10 for $5) to bulk disks that have Atari DOS software on them and which you would have to have a notcher to reuse (100 for $20 or something like that). They also sell just sleeves, write protect tabs, notchers, etc. Check out This Page and about 2/3's down the page you'll find different disk packages and prices. I've bought from B&C in the past and got good service and products from them. Thanks again to everyone who responded to my original post.
