I Need Approximately 100 5.25" Disk Sleeves
« on: 3 April 2010, 12:44 »
I've tried everywhere: eBay, Craigslist, Freecycle, hours of Googling -- but cannot find these.

I have a sampler that uses a Commodore 1541-II disk drive for its main storage.  I bought 100, brand new, DS/DD floppies from floppydisk.com but they didn't come with sleeves.  I'm thinking maybe someone here (who like me collects old hardware) might have some around. 

Yes, I would be willing to pay.

I'm sorry, I used tapes.

I did too in the beginning.  Imagine, the Commodore Serial Bus actually feeling speedy after using a datasette for like a year.

Perhaps instead of sleeves you can use one of those large plastic clamshell type cases?

I have a case; they're generally safe.  I just would feel better with sleeves.

you could make your own with paper... i once found a great guide to make sleeves for regular cds, of course its going to be flimsyish but might be a fine job!

Today I bought 120 off eBay.  They're an interesting vinyl sleeve from the 80s I bought from an all-Atari store.  This will last me for a little while.

I have a bunch of working 5.25" blank disks, never used, in a case. Probably about ten.
