That should be "360K".  Sorry.

 	No offense, but $.10 apeice would be a lot more like it.  Low
density 5.25's just aren't worth much any more.   I suggest you aquire
the outstanding "800" program, that allows you to cram 800k worth of
data onto a 360k disk -- fairly reliably.  I havn't had probs, anyway.

I hope I dont come across as the price police since im sure you are just
out of touch with the market, but you can buy 10 360k disks NEW for between
2 and 3$ from MEI (last check I believe they were .29 each, correct me if
im wrong..)

For about 2$ more than your asking price you can get 10HD 3.5in disks
(also from MEI).

Scott

PS	No, I dont work for MEI, I just use lots and lots of their disks :)
