I still have 5 inch drives in case someone needs to recover legacy data from their 5 inch discs. It is not uncommon to find old machinery that has all it's back up programs, documentation and data stored on dusty 5 inch discs. Repair, replication or simple upgrades would be impossible without being able to read those discs. There probably are 5 inch discs still in regular use, why change a reliable old machine that does the job for a more modern one

It seems like only yesterday that my last 8 inch drive was re-cycled. ( well at my age year 2002 is close to yesterday )

In my experience you only had to drop/breath on/look at them the wrong way and they were unreadable, much like the rugged "CD" that we were given to expect.

Just out of interest, why did you want not to burn them?

Maybe he has a firewall.
