I buy 720K 3.5 inch diskette on eBay for about $20 per 100. (You can find a
box of 10 if you don't need a 100.) I search for "floppy 720K". Every week
there is someone selling new-in-box floppies. I also have bought 360K 5.25
disks.
I have no connection with the following eBay auction (Item # 1277913625).
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1277913625
If someone needs a boot disk for their SWTPC 6800 or 6809 computer, I can
provided one.
