You can still buy 8", 5.25" HD and 3" disks. Trouble is, they may be *Really*
expensive; I noticed on the Imation web site a couple of months ago that (from
memory) a box of 8" disks was over US$100.

3" disks are still available new from at least one place in the UK, though they
are over 2 pounds each.
