I do, now. Back then, I bought two cases of RX01K diskettes from a friend
who had a diskette/PostIt/highlighter/mouse pad/laser pointer business.
He had over 1m^3 of 8" diskettes. 10+ years ago, he was trying to sell
them as novelties, but gave up before they became "cool". He didn't
bother to tell me when he threw them out, but at least while he was
still trying to sell them, he let me have a couple of boxes - I didn't
see any hard-sectored media, so I grabbed all the ones that were pre-
formatted.
I haven't seen large quantites of 8" new media for sale since then.
