[Coco] 8" floppy disks

[Chad H]

Haven't seen a 8" floppy since the word processing lab in high school..  One day I might acquire a drive though ..just to see if the rumors I heard were true or just tall tales where the stop sensor on the head failed and the head got thrown through the side of the case knocking a hole in it..ooooooo

None of my 5 1/4" drives ever did that trick :/

Since I know most of us collect more than just the CoCo, anyone need 8" floppies before I put them on fleabay?
These are still new, sealed, shrink-wrapped. I no longer have any machines with 8" floppies, and see no reason to hoard them.
Now, 5.25" DS/DD and 3.5" 720K DS/DD, yes, I hoard. Lots. Tons. Hundreds upon hundreds. Upon hundreds. Did I mention more hundreds? :)

I have:
(4) 10-packs of Maxell FD2-D soft-sectored DS/DD
(2) sealed 10-packs of Verbatim FD 34-8000 1S/2D SS/DD soft-sectored
(1) box of 3M DS/DD, opened, with 9 disks in a 10-pack box

Whoever buys the most, also gets as a bonus about 4-5 loose Verbatim 2S/2D 8" disks
