they would be willing to part with?
Jerome Fine replies:
While I find that eBay is rarely a reasonable place to buy such items, on
rare occasions (probably less than 10% of the auctions), you can find
hardware that has a reasonable price. Recently, I did a follow up on
some 5 1/4" magneto optical cartridges (they are usually under the
heading of "optical disks" on eBay) that were for sale and the fellow
had 400 more at a price that was less than the cost of shipping.
I also purchased two drives.
If anyone needs 5 1/4" cartridges, he may still have some - 295 Mbytes
per side - 512 bytes per sector - total capacity 590 MBytes.
