CCTech folks,
Does anyone know the whereabouts of any working 8" floppy
drives? I have a client who needs a few to allow a legacy
Silly answer : Yes, I can see over a dozen of them without leaving this
chair. Of course they're all in working computers systems...
system to keep on working while I revamp their whole
system.
Is it too late to point out that 8" drives can nearly always be
_repaired_... I don't think I've ever had to replace a head in one
(unlike 3.5" drives...). Most of the time a good clean and lubrication
job helps a lot. Occasionally there are electronic problems, but the
components are normally standard parts...
