Title: Purchasing Amiga floppy disks
Post by: carvedeye on September 13, 2011, 03:59:08 PM

Hi all just wondering if anyone knows if there is any where you can still purchase brand new floppy disks that work with Amiga?

I think some Amiga dealers have them.  Failing that, you can hit http://floppydisks.com

You might want to try an office supply store like Staples or Office Max.  I bought some at a K-Mart a couple of years ago.

Recently I got qty 50 on EBAY for like $10, and qty 20 from local Goodwill store for $5. That's for DS/DD ones.

the aforementioned links iwll work. I'll be honest, I just buy some HD disks from best buy or whatnot. They usually have some stashed away in a corner.

I know people say that formatting HD disks in a normal amiga drive is supposed to be unreliable but I've never seen that.
