[Coco] 360K 3.5 inch floppies... hmmm

[George Ramsower]

 Mike,

  I think you missed something here. These are unformatted diskettes. All my 
software and data are already backed up in numerous ways, including onto 
this PC and CDs.
  I was looking for a way to keep these floppies in good shape for future 
use.
