how do you people safely store your floppys without damaging the metal slider thingy? sometimesIf I stack them they lock under each other which can cause a big problem if it gets stuck inside the drive!!!! Do they sell single plastic sleeves or something ? or?

Hello........Lately I've been using so many floppies for my PSR2000 I have been careless and just leave them laying around all over. I do have several plastic file "boxes" made especially for floppies. Each holds 100. They make smaller or larger ones too. Many floppies are sold with a storage box as a bonus. Staples or Office Depot should have what you want.
P.S. Backup ALL your floppies on your hard drive or have a master floppy stored safely outside your home or office in case of theft or fire ect..............I eventually archive everything on a CD-ROM.

HI Donny

Oddly enough I have been having the best luck using the absolute cheapest disks I am aware of. A box of 100 for $19.95. I bought some on sale once for $9.95 for the 100. They have them at Office Max.

THese disks have the black flexible plastic instead of the heavy duty metal "widgets". I found that the real good disks with the metal slider thing are the ones that get caught and bend and then have problems. Any disk with the black plastic slider, if it gets caught, it just pops right back.

Hi Donny

The brand is KHypermedia. MF-2HD. They come in about five colors in the box of 100. Blue box. You also might want to check out their rebate booklet for all Office Max products. There may be a coupon in there.

Best

Scott

Scott are these them?
It looks like metal NOT plastic...am I wrong?

HI Donny

Yes, those are the ones. That's just the way the pic turned out. You'll find they are black plastic thingers.

Hi Donny,

This is how I protect my floppys.

I seal a long white business zize envelope and then put scotch tape along the seal.
I then cut it in half. Write the songs that are on the floppy and slip it in.
Cheap but very effective.

Each half of the envelope makes a perfect fit. I never had any problems.

My SD Card now in my kn7000 makes the floppys an almost a thing of the past.
I use it now mostly for downloading songs and transferring them to my SD card.

Once again Happy Birthday.
Alex

Floppys? What are Floppys?
