RE: Digital Archaeology: Codex (Floppy Disk) #10 (part 1)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I found a number of 5.25" disks at a thrift store a number of years ago.
A few years ago I heard that the floppy disk manufacturing is stopped, and the stores are no longer selling floppy disks.
If anyone still have or find any valuable, useful/helpful information on floppy disks, then that should be copied to a computer as soon as possible, and depending on the nature of that information, it should be published publicly, like these "Close Encounters" files.

Yes, floppy disks are no longer manufactured nor are the drives themselves (at least the 5.25" ones). I'm sure there are lots more disks out there with interesting bits of digital history on them like this but if people don't get them transferred to more modern systems in the not too distant future then it may all be lost forever.
