Scarcer than hen's teeth, I'm afraid.  These went with the Drivetec drives
that could be found in the Kaypro Robie.

The problem is that these use an embedded servo and blank floppies were
formatted by the factory--the user could not format his own.  I've never
found more than the occasional one here and there, probably because when
purchased new, these were sold by the single unit and rather
expensive--about $5 each, 1980 prices.

The 6.4 MB ones are even scarcer.

Cheers,
