Well, after my last FreeCycle debacle, I found someone who was giving away some old 5.25" floppy disks. I called him up, and he delivered them to my door! He gave me a case for them and there were atleast 100 in the box. There was also a drive head cleaner!!

yeah, they are fun. I found a whole bunch of Apple III diagnostics disks (copies). So I called the guy who gave them to me, and he said he has two in storage in Wisnosin that I can have!!!

Make sure it a single-sided one... the double-sided ones can damage the Apple drives.

Two Apple III's? Woot!

If they don't boot first try, remember what Apple said; pick 'em up and drop 'em onto a hard surface 😛
