I'm looking for some old 5.25" drives to bring back a couple of Osborne 1s
to dual drive status.
Be advised that the Osborne drives are not directly interchangeable with
`normal' 5.25" drives. The ribbon cable to the card edge carries drive
power as well as signals and is wired differently. You will need to
conjure an adapter to use normal ones.

Does anyone know of a good source for old floppy
drives? Or better yet, a
source for getting them repaired?

Subject: 5.25" floppy model numbers
Somebody recently posted a fairly comprehensive list of floppy drive
model #s with their capacities & base specs. I'd like to grab a few
not-1.2M drives before we scrap them, but I've misplaced the list.
Would whoever it was be willing to repost?
Thanks
