I have a client with boxes of 3.5 inch disks full of business files and nothing to read them.

Do you want a brand new floppy drive? I've got 1 left, got some second hands as well.
I've also got an External USB Floppy Drive. (Just in case)

me too!
Older systems still in production or other reasons?
Yeah I've held onto a couple of USB floppy drives that where natively supported in Windows XP. And grab a couple of unopened Sony 10 pack of disks that were being thrown out. You never know
Remember reading this last year about floppydisks.com ...

I am actually going to need to track down some 3.5" floppies in the next few weeks - someone is finally going to finish shutting down their old SCO Unix Medical Manager box, but before that happens I want to run several tape backups and create several sets of recovery floppies Just In Case.
Still have an 8" floppy disk around
Well I've just learnt something. I didn't realise 8" floppy disks existed ... Yes you made me google it

Hey, a guy I know has a big sheet of core memory up on his wall, not sure how many bytes it is though.
