The 5.25" diskettes on floppydisk.com are all recycled.
And they aren't recycling them anymore according to their web page.
Good to know; they've all worked well, for me - but I hear ya.
Ya, it's sad. This is why I always recommend that people update their vintage hardware to use floppy emulators - especially if they like to
use them a lot and they have 5.25" drives.
The clock is running out on 5.25" floppy disks and 3.5" disks aren't
that far behind.

I agree with you - thats actually my next C=64 project; I recently got around 200 original software (and user data) disks in a collection... I have to figure out how to use my SD2EIC solution to backup 5.25"s from
the 1541 drive to my SDCard... I wanna get all 200 disks backed up.
I prefer to run on current solutions, but you always find the coolest stuff on actual disks IMO

store C=64 demo that lets you enter yer computer store name and C=64
price and runs thru a demo that would be displayed in-store... so rad; gotta get that one uploaded to archive.org and csdb.dk as neither one
have it!!

you can use zoomfloppy or xum1541 for backuping up. i have both, but i prefer zoomfloppy.
