Joe,
Well, could you eyeball those drives and let me know what ya got? If
they're the right make and model, I would be interested in purchasing
at least one.

I'll take a look at them in a day or two and let you know what they are.
I just got two more 8" drives. These are Siemens model 120-8. They're also
120 VAC and use a 50 pin card edge connector. These were spares (not
original) for a Tandy 6000 so they should have a standard interface.

Oh I believe that! It seems even most 8" *floppies* I've seen use
115vac for power. (Ummm, are you implying that you *may* have a
couple for sale?)
