When you say "still available," do you mean that the manufacturing

"Lots" of floppy disks, both "brand new" (but perhaps "new old
stock") and "used" seem to be available almost everywhere.
I bought loads of Shugart 851 drives, for upgrading my Xerox 820
micros, some many years ago.
I see the drives and the media are still available from time-to-time.
I seriously doubt if brand-new drives are available, except for "new
old stock". Possibly the same for media.
Anyway, there seems to be a more than adequate supply of such drives
and media.
