* Special, Once-In-A-Lunchtime offer... *
I was helping clear out some old offices for a charity I'm helping to set up, and I found a shopping-bag's worth of new, unused 5.25" floppy disks!
I rescued them from the bin, and they're free to the first worthy cause that contacts me (Peet42@Netscape.net) with a good reason to use them. Preference will be given to user groups that copy and distribute software for free... I'm also more likely to send them to someone in the UK, as the international postage is pretty high on this size of item, but if you have a good case for needing them then don't let that stop you from contacting me from outside the UK; I'd rather they did the most good than save a few pennies. :)
They're unmarked, mostly in plastic bags of about 50 (?) and while I have no way of being certain if they're DD or HD the few loose ones I fondled certainly felt like DD. (They didn't have the "oily sheen" on the media surface that's common with HD disks) No labels *or sleeves*...
The previous occupants of the offices were a packaging company, and my best guess is that they were printing and attaching labels to disks for someone else, and these were just the excess disks.
