PerSci Model 277 Dual 8" Floppy Drives - Info Needed

---------------------Original Message------------------------- From: "Tim Myers" <tim.myers(a)sunplan.com> To: <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> Subject: PerSci Model 277 Dual 8" Floppy Drives - Info Needed Does anyone have any info on these drives? I have some in a CP/M system (Ithaca Intersystems DPS-1), and they seem completely dead. They have an electric load mechanism, but when I insert a disk, nothing happens. Popped the case and can't see anything obviously out of place. Tim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cromemco used these in early models of the System 3; not exactly the most reliable. Sorry to say, I scrapped several of them a year ago and, although I've got manuals for most Cromemco stuff I don't think I've got any docs on these. But I'll have a look and let you know if I find anything. Meanwhile, there are probably several people on this list who have them and could perhaps at least compare notes with ya. They are getting power? Good luck, mike
