Damn I had a nice picture of some floppy-disks, but the mailing list  
denied me as the message head was too big. Oh well. We're actually  
talking about the 5 1/4" floppy disks for, in this case, a C64.  
Although, I do have a 5 1/4" IBM MFM hard-drive lying around. It still  
spins up but I don't have an MFM controller card. I kinda wanted to  
record the sounds it makes one of these days :)

Anyways, Fredrik, I'm having trouble e-mailing you due to your spam  
filter :/ I did, however, find this site:

http://www.floppydisk.com/

Of course, you can still have my extra floppies, but thought I would  
share in case you needed them in bulk :)
