If you can give me any more info to positively ID the specific FDD I
might try to find it- The stash it may be in (not mine-but I have
access) is several hundred floppys-hence the better it can be
identified, the faster and more likely I am to spot it.

Hey Ethan, do you have a copy of the Diagnostic disk?
I just
recently
got one of these old gems & am trying to get it back up and running
again.

I have one of these - very nice. For those that
don't remember, I
have a NIC in one ISA slot of the dock, and a proprietary parallel
card attached to a device programmer in the other slot. I use
Kermit
and a packet driver to get device files in and out. The only
problems
I've had with mine were a) dead battery in the Dallas clock chip
(not
a "regular" BIOS battery, but not a unique arrangement), and b) a
missing battery and missing power brick, so it only works attached
to
the dock.
As a small 286, though, it's a nice package. Someone (else) should
jump
on it!
