Unfortunately, I couldn't find any useful floppies... I've got plenty
of 5-1/4" ones, but the 8" DSDD ones that I'm running out of were
nowhere to be found (in useable condition, that is).  Fortunately, I
was able to buy 20 DC-300 tapes for 50 cents each.  I didn't even see
any 9-track tapes!  Someone was selling two nice Cipher drives,
however.

Alas, I had to turn down some PDP-11 equipment that I don't have
enough room for at present, and limited my PDP-11 related purchases to
two RL02 drives and various bits of documentation.
