To Xnyle:

A bit obvious perhaps, but: You can always just order new floppies online.

To Xnyle:

Perhaps giving up on floppies and going for floppy emulation in hardware is a better option?

Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUxsmQxJZ3c
Keep an eye on: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1269¤cy=EUR

Sure hope they're going to get that stock they're expecting, otherwise that will pretty useless, of course.

Best solution is really to get rid of the need for floppies, and floppy emulation seems like the easiest and cheapest way to do that (I don't use it, though).

Retro should include floppies ;-)
I'm exactly the opposite. My Amiga 1200 doesn't even have a floppy drive anymore :lol:
