atrax27407 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I have 56 3.5" HD (1.44Meg) disks that are surplus to my needs. I would like to trade them for a similar approximate quantity of 3.5" DSDD disks (720K) disks. The two types are easy to differentiate between. The HD disks have two holes (an open hole top left and a sliding write protect top right) and the 720K disk just have a single hole covered by a sliding write protect in the top right. If you have a spare quantity of 720K disks, please send me a PM. It would be a 1-for-1 swap. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 are these new old stock or used disks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) New - at least that is what they were advertised as on eBay when I bought them awhile back. There are 30 Imation disks of 5 colors( blue, orange, green, yellow, and red) and the other 20 are generic disks in the original box (4 gray and 16 black).

barry.peterson Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I have several 720KB drives that don't do HD and don't have a sensor for the hole. I can use any disk in those drives, in fact I have hundreds of HD disks, including a bunch of TI-formatted DSQD 720KB diskettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 I got a couple of ALPS HD drives from another member. I swapped all of my HD disks for DSDD disks which work fine in a HD drive so I'm all set. Thanks. You still in Cary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
