Is it a zip?
No!
Is it a floppy?
No!
It's SUPER disk...

Never thought this would happen. Sealed three packs of LS 120 Superdisks found at thrift. They had them marked a tad spendy for a thrift, but got all of them for under the $49.99 original price sticker on some of the packs. Though I could probably have found space in my floppy drawers for them, I grabbed a distinctive, doesn't match my "classic" floppy holders (Smoked top clamshell) case to give them their own home.

Not so easy find, congrats!

Yah, I walked right past at first. Weird thing with all the LS120 stuff I've got, I missed it first go, then 3 or 4 steps later my subconscious goes "Hol' up frendo, something a bit different back there." and I turn round and take another look. These were half buried under some file folders, so pretty amazing I caught them at all.

I know the feeling of some strange tingling "dude, go back" 🤣
You knew what you were looking at, others simply don't. That counts a lot.

120 are still available even if rare, 240 are like grail level items.

Just had this MSI MS-6339 delivered, have wanted to mess around with Socket 423 for a while. 256MB RDRAM and P4 1.7GHz included along with the HSF. Not bad for £50.

That price is excellent, I like that the rd-ram blanks have the MSI logo on them.

There's a good deal in the US right now if anyone else is looking for some 423 action - it's an OEM late model Intel D850GB from what I can tell. Search "Gateway Desktop Intel Motherboard 4000725 A49507-903 PCU SL4SG". Probably hasn't sold because of the generic title. $23 with free postage, and can likely knock down to $20 with an offer. Although no HSF included, and you may end up paying more for that than this bundle...
