    Description

    Removed from OEM packaging and kept for over 25 years in my media storage cabinets, these disks, have media surfaces that
    are in
    flawless condition
    and have been
    recently formatted
    with
    no
    bad sectors!
    All disks offered have maximum available storage capacity.
    The problems of buying from other sellers are simply these:
    They have no working computers with 2.88 drives for formatting or testing disks like these ...
    Even if they do, they won't unpack what they have for testing because it might reduce the value of disks sold as "new/sealed" ...
    They know that 20-30 year old factory formatted disks have often suffered the ravages of time, and that bit-rot have trashed "Track 0" and rendered the disks utterly useless ...
    In order to use IBM's Advanced Diagnostic programs to test 2.88 ED drives, you
    MUST
    have a diskette that is formatted perfectly. Every collector of legacy computers needs at least one of these in his / her collection.
    Each disk is marked with a blue check mark indicating that it successfully formatted to maximum capacity. The marking is alcohol pen based, which means it will clean off easily with an alcohol swap if you wish.
    Your order will be shipped with the diskette(s) in a diskette mailer INSIDE a bubble padded envelope for maximum safety!
