Back when I bought my first floppy drive for my Commodore 64 the sales clerk told me I should get a box of 10 floppies. They were only single sided floppies 170K per side. The 1541 floppy drive cost almost a grand in today's dollars.
Floppy discs cost several bucks each so I just got two. Not two packs of ten, but two discs. One for all the programs I had and one for backup. I bought a lot more over the years.  |
If you got the double sided/double density disks you could use a razor to cut a read/write notch on the opposite side so you could flip the disk over and use the other side.
