Hello Joseph,

Nice find! At that price it’s worth getting a couple of drives (3.5/5.25) for long term.

We recently came across some 3.5 disks, but fortunately had the original MAC on which the records were created.

Ethan,
I thought so too, but if you check the product details it says Disk type: 3.5-Inch High Density.
The digital dark age is nigh, etc.

Believe it or not, you can get these in USB (see http://www.amazon.com/Floppy-Drive-External-Chipset-SY-USB-FDD/dp/B002G1YP3O).

Dear Lists Members,
I have come across some 5.25 floppy disks. We are in the need of a 5.25 floppy disk drive with an adapter.
Any suggestions?
