  • Re: Wanted: 5.25" Floppy Disk Sleeves

    125 sleeves? Is that for a personal collection?

    I bought tons of new disks from floppydisk.com (sans sleeves) for use with my E-Mu SP12 sampler. The sampler uses any old Commodore 1541 variant for storage, or optionally cassette. It has no SCSI, and no one has been able to mod it for any sort of flash option. It's a shame because, like with old
    8-bit systems, most of the samplers from that era have modern storage
    options.

    The SP1200 came later on with a built in 3.5" DD floppy, but even that machine has no alternative storage options. A bit problematic since they use a hard to find floppy drive and many are beginning to fail.

    ... Deep down...I'm really a pretty superficial kind of guy.

    YYou know, I might be able to help on this. You still looking for these?

    Wish I had heard from you earlier; I bought 125 sleeves off eBay a few months ago, which should hold me over for a while.

    I'm trying to get around 100 5.25" floppy disk sleeves. These things are much
    harder to find than you would expect. If anyone can help me please respond; of course I will be willing to pay a fair amount.

    You know, I like many things about retro computing, but there is a high likelihood I will not use a floppy drive in the future with my Atari 800... which I am writing this message with. :)
