You can still use floppy’s

Posted in Computer, Consumer, Household, Storage, retro by david on the December 6th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

Ever wondered what you could do with the old floppy disks? Well if you just look at the image below that gives you a little idea!

Clearly it is impossible to write data onto a floppy disk, but these CDR’s do look funny as floppy disks, it would be especially funny to someone’s face when you stick this disc into the drive of the computer at work!

Each disk will hold 200 MB, and come with blue, red, green and yellow old style labels!

Prices are funny, $14 for one, $32 for four!

Here’s the video if you can’t see it.  (some kinda YouTube bug…yes blame it on the big company)

Cool, check out this awesome 3-Axis servo motor drawing “HackADay”. You can get the board for really cheap from this guy.

The preprogrammed AVR microcontroller must be purchased directly from Uli Huber. We do not carry the chips.

Please include $5 shipping and handling for destinations within the continental United States. For all other areas, please include $7 for shipping charges.

For those only interested in purchasing a single bare pcb board, shipping and handling can be avoided by sending us the cost of the pcb and include a self addressed stamped envelope with your order. Please attach three first class stamps to the envelope with your legible return address. We suggest using cardboard floppy disks envelopes that can be purchased at office supply stores. US only.
