Can anyone tell me the best place to buy blank floppy discs to use with the QL?
I'm down to my last few!

I assume it's best to use DD discs & not a good idea to use HD discs?

Well.... You could always try RWAP_SOFTWARE on sellmyretro.com....

I have a fair few DD disks - you are best using DD disks if you are going to ever need to swap to another disk drive or send them elsewhere - although you can mask teh HD detection hole on HD disks, it is not advised.

Cheers Rich!
I'll be in touch about floppies, though I'm sure I have more hidden somewhere in my loft!...........

Although maybe it's time I invested in one of you HxC SD Card Floppy Drive Emulators!
