I just discovered a bunch of 3.5" floppies - the kind in a hard plastic
shell with a metal slide covering the medium - that I'm ready to let go
of. I don't know how old they are; in particular, I don't know whether
they are good quality or not, don't know whether the media is still
good or not, etc. I have 79 of them: an unopened pack of 50 plus an
opened pack still containing 27 of them, plus two strays that aren't
part of the opened pack (the plastic is a different colour). I don't
see any obvious corporate names or logos on any of them.
I have no idea what, if anything, is on any of them. Nothing I care
about preserving, I'm fairly sure of that much.
Pick up in Ottawa, Canada; if you are, or can be, in Ottawa, it's worth
asking in case I can drop them off.
Given the disaster modern email is, I recommend anyone who doesn't
already know they can reach me send a copy to mouse at netbsd.org as well;
it forwards to the same place but has different filtering rules, and
not infrequently works for people who can't reach me directly. I've
set a Reply-To: on this mail naming both addresses, but I don't know
whether it will survive the list.
