And don't forget you can notch each side for double the storage!
```just a word of warning, copy everything off them [commercially-available flippable 5.25" BBC Micro disks] quick, as the 'side2' goes backwards to the cotton cloth cleaner inside the 5 1/4" case, so basically all the crap caught in it then end up coming out when playing other flip side :('''
(No idea how common this phenomenon might have been! - I've always had double-sided drives, so I've always used the other side of the disk in the normal fashion.)
I have taken the floppy out of the sleeves to dry them out as the entirety of my collection fell in the aquarium.
Writable == tape
Find me someone who used 5.25 who didn’t do this and I’ll fight you.
