575 floppy disks!Just bought 575 floppy disks! About $54 included shipping ( which was $18 )
Gave 300 of them to my productive SP1200-friend for christmas and kept 275 for my own 1200...
As you can see these floppy disks are a guide to a web-page and was passed out to people for commercial use. The package was never before opened, and the disks are untouched as they maybe never needed that much disks. Works very well! And they have more of these boxes filled with floppy disks in stock...

High density, not double. But I do the Stevie-trick with el-tape to them. The SP1200 is clueless.

I have emailed with the store now, and they had 18 more boxes with 500 disks.
They could sell worldwide, but it weighs 22 pounds/10 kilos, and the shipping prices in Norway are completely crazy, so they said it would be 1410 NOK (Norwegian Kroners) about $258 for one box included shipping to the US.
Anyone interested can PM me and get the email to the store. You will have to pay them before they ship.

It is harder and harder to get floppies at all, HD or DD. More and more office-stores and computer stores quit selling them. I'm going to buy a lot more of these big boxes of floppies, and get that Borat floppy drive that reads and writes DD disks the right way. But thats expensive stuff.

I got some from route66 a while back but they took forever to get here so I don't recommend. My best floppy deals were always on ebay.
