OK then, this guy got a hell of a deal:

and I'm sitting on a gold mine... I have about 30 SA-851s.
Full height admittedly, but I personally think that SA-851s
are the best 8" floppy ever made and grab them whenever I
get the chance (for a reasonable, to me anyway, price... less
than $30 including shipping per drive). I keep an eye for 8
inchers on ebay and don't recall ever seeing that high of a
price for bare drives before. I was going to bid those
because I have a system where it would be handy to stuff two
drives into a single full height spot and the seller was
local to me and would allow pickup for no fee.
They look like pretty bog standard half height 8
inch
drives to me.
Sold for $257 US.
8" floppy drives are getting expensive as they get to be less common. The
Mitsubishis were used a bunch of equipment, include Heath/Zentith. $257
for two half-height DS units is not a particularly awful deal.
