I received a catalog froma place that has pretty good prices for
floppies. It sells a bunch of different types and I was wondering how
to sort it all out. The options are:
Brand X 'Premium 3.5" Bulk Diskettes', DSDD, Lifetime warranty,
Certified, etc. (@.60)
3M (@1.50)
Precision (@1.40)
Sony (@1.50)
Dysan (@1.40)
BASF (@1.30).
They also have "DS/HD"... what is "HD?" "High density"???

I wonder who really makes the $.60 ones! Anyhow, my roomate just ordered some disks from a place that sells SONY's and KAO's for $.97 a piece or something... maybe you should find a better bargain-basement dealer? ------------------------------------------------------ Quantum _\/_ 919 Drake CellBlock 146 Bruce (6502 RULES!)

The Diskette Connection in Delaware sells Sony DS/DD disks for 94 cents each. You have to buy 50 at a time, and labels are extra (35 cents for 10). I have ordered twice from Diskette Connection and have been happy with the company. They advertise in MacWorld all the time. You can get their phone number by calling Information for 800 numbers: 1-800-555-1212. There are 3 Diskette Connection locations in the USA. I have no affiliation with Diskette Connection except as a customer. -- # Dan Barrett barrett@cs.jhu.edu (128.220.13.4) ARPANET # # ins_adjb@jhuvms.bitnet BITNET # # ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP UUCP (unreliable) # # Dept. of Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218 #

I know a place that has TDK 3 1/4" DSDD diskettes (my favorite) for pretty
reasonable prices...boxes of 10 with labels, not your usual bulk package.
$1.40/disk 1 box of 10 --> $14.00/box
$1.165/disk 5 boxes of 10 --> $11.65/box --> $58.25
plus ups shipping, ProTape NW / 2412 2nd NE / Seattle, WA 98121 / (206)-441-8273
They're weird about credit cards, they have intermediate discounts for other
quantities, they try to ship from stock, their phone # is 441-TAPE (gag).
