GREAT OFFER! on floppy disks

My 14 year old son asked me to install something new on his computer to run such floppy disks. I wasn't sure if we would even find her. Found them here and they worked great, at least that's what my son said. Shipped very quickly and arrived in perfect condition.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Personally grateful for the continuous supply of floppy disks

The good old floppy disks will still come in handy for those who maintain old boxes. Even on the newest machines, a floppy disk can save you a lot of trouble. Warning: Do not perform a quick format. Always format carefully before creating a boot disk or installing DOS programs, etc.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Zero

Vendor replaced IBM format disks (useless for retro MAC users)

Vendor replaced unformatted diskettes for sale with IBM format diskettes. This renders them useless for their intended purpose (for a retro MAC). I've been looking for a long time and paid a premium for _unformatted_ floppy disks. The picture makes the difference clear. It also shows branding in Spanish (where I'm neutral).

Pros
  • Featured
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great for Retro Mac

Okay, I have to dispel some of the things the other Mac guy said below that just aren't true. In short, without going too far into the wild. First, the disks in this display—either unformatted or IBM-formatted—will work with any Mac with a Superdrive. This is a floppy disk drive that can read 1.44MB double-sided high-density discs (also called MF2-HD and FDHD). You can tell they have TWO square holes in them. If you have installed the PC Exchange Control Panel on System 7 or 8, they will be…

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Vendor Replaced Raw Floppy Disks For Sale With IBM Format Floppy Disks. This renders them useless for their intended purpose (for a retro MAC). I've been looking for a long time and paid a premium for _unformatted_ floppy disks. The picture makes the difference clear. It also shows branding in Spanish (where I'm neutral).

Pros
  • Floppy Disks
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

Great for my digital camera that uses floppy disks to save money!

The disks I received were gray to answer the question "which color". I use them on my recently purchased Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD73. The camera itself can format drives, which was good because I wasn't sure if Windows 10 can do that. Windows 10 didn't give me an option to format, but a google search which I found about the command line helped. I used Wikihow; Format the floppy disk.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Some small things
