Does anyone have any info on Sony OA-D32W 3.5"
floppies? In particular the
one I have is a model OA-D32W-11 with a broken head. This was in an HP
Integral PC. I don't suppose there is much hope of finding a working
replacement. It has a 26-pin connector. Any chance a standard 34-pin PC
3.5" floppy could be wired up to the 26-pin interface and made to work as a
replacement?
Try old deskpros of '386 era. This uses 3.5" toshiba or one other
brand w/ this 26pin interface attached to 34pin adapter or direct to
motherboard. Change the eject button and bezel from dud peecee
toshiba floppy drives to fit into HP. Toshiba also use same in
their luggable laptops like 5200 for example.
Cheers,
Wizard
