Well, the main reasons I wanted to grab some, were so
I would have some
for a display someday (sort of a history of floppy drives), plus
I figured if people had genuine IBM XT's in their collections, it
would be likely that someone had upgraded to a half height floppy
in order to gain an additional drive bay. Such a person might want
to restore their unit to original condition while they still have
an opportunity to do so.
Might be useful in other machines, possibly TRS-80 model 3 and 4
used full height tandon drives?
