About those Northstar disks .... I'd consider cutting open the jackets,
removing the mylar, rinsing it in clean water, drying completely (be careful
not to dent/crease the mylar) and put the mylar into a new, cut-open jacket
from a soft sector 5.25" diskette.  They will probably be ok.

Hard-sector disks (both 5" and 8" of any type at all) are VERY hard to find.
They do show up on E-Bay occasionally, but not often.

I think that Pat Swayne of SEBHC (society of eight-bit heath(kit) computers)
had some NEW 10-sector disks newly made last year.  They are, however,
expensive (almost $2 per disk), and I'm not sure if he has any left.
