I have a pair of IBM 8" disk drives - they are from an 1980 IBM 5120
I simply won't have the time to give them the attention they deserve for
many years. They seem mechanically ok (they spin) but I don't know much
more about them, or how "universal" they might be as 8" floppy disk
drives.
I think I do have to cut them from the transformer they are connected to
(couple thick red wires), but otherwise they have all the original power
harness stuff as well.
Thinking just cost of shipping plus rounded to nearest $10 or $100. They
are about 20lbs (together, and I would like to keep them together - there
is a pin/clip that is used to latch them together, but I do think they can
be separated fairly easily).
Message me if any interest. If you do need/want them for another 5120
project, I can probably include some adapter cards.
