# Disk Mess

When I ordered my Larken T/S 2068 disk controller boards I started to stock up on disks when on sale, I ended up with 10 boxes (50 disks) and later I ordered from MEI Micro two orders of 100 bulk disks and then a little while back I realised that I had only 50 unformated disks plus another 25 formatted for the ZX81 Larken. 250 minus 75 is 175 and if I only had 10 programs on a disk that would be 1750 programs and I knew that wasn’t right.
