Hi Josh,

Thank you, that'd be great. I live in Burlington but I have a friend in that 
area that I visit occasionally. Probably I'll be there next week one day. We 
can meet if it's ok for you.

I have a 1541, so I believe HD disk is not an option.


Thanks again,
Mert

Mert,

Where is local?  If you are in the Thornhill area, I can sell you some disks....
Do you need HD or DD disks?

Josh

Hi Leif,

Yeah, I think the ZoomFloppy is the ideal solution for this (didn't know 
minixum, thanks), but I'll still need some floppy disks. If I can't find it 
anywhere locally, I'll try Ebay as a last resort.

Thanks,
Mert

Hi Mert,

So why not a ZoomFloppy?

http://store.go4retro.com/zoomfloppy/

If you prefer Canadian, there is the MiniXUM 1541 which is
functionality identical to the ZoomFloppy, but slightly
smaller/cheaper design and without the Parallel option.

Cheers,

Hello everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone has some spare 5.25" floppy disks to share. 
I'm also looking for a "PC to 1541" solution something like ZoomFloppy.
Thanks,
Mert
