Apple Branded Floppy Disks - Who Made Them?
Posted by: Scott Baret on 2016-04-05 19:30:24
I'm curious to see if anyone here may know. I stumbled across one in a box of disks today (it's one of the early ones with the red lock slider) and am curious as to who the true manufacturer of these disks was.

My guess is Sony since they made the drives, but I could be wrong.

I know Apple sold disks for some time, including those PowerBook disks in the box with the photo of the lady sitting on the mountain--apparently they were designed to work better in laptops?

Sony is also my guess.  Steve really liked Sony stuff.

I would also guess Sony since they were supplying the 3.5" drives.
