If it's got a 1050, it's not using TOS. AFAIK TOS floppies are nothing but
a FAT filesystem. However, I think you're interested in Atari DOS
floppies, and I'm afraid I can't help much there. But I'm pretty sure the
answer is no.

Best place is probably a swap meet, but if you've got any place like "Fry's
Electronics" around you can try there. I know they've got the 3.5" DD
floppies. Of course if you are truely desparate, Radio Shack probably will
sell you some at about $2 a disk.
