[Coco] 5.25" Floppies...

[Rietveld Rietveld]

Dead serious.

But don't feel too bad. The c64 was DOA.

I did keep the drive, which I don't have any use for, and the monitor
There are literally 100s of floppies with it but most are ‎copies so I don't feel bad about Reusing them

I hope you're kidding about tossing out the C64. I know people who would have wanted it along with any other hardware you had for it.

The drives are getting harder to find (at least harder to find at a sane price).

5.25" floppies are easy to buy new.

They still make them.

I don't understand the desire to prematurely declare 5.25" floppies as dead. I use them all the time.
