Hi Ben
 Yes, one can take normal disk and punch them. They do
need to be accurately done. I've been looking at setting
up an index wheel to do just this. I have need for
doing it on 5-1/4 and 8 inch so it is an interesting
problem. One of my 8 inch applications has index holes
on the outer diameter of the disk.
