I have a Shugart 801 FDD I've been trying to sell. Yours
for reasonable offer, plus shipping. Condition: Working when
removed from my external box I built for my LSI-11. The motor is 115
volts, 60 cycles. Number of boards/components missing: None.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to track down an 8-inch floppy drive to read an Intel MDS
M2FM disc I've been sent for adding to the DiscFerret decoder
engine. Specifically: it's an ISIS boot floppy, in SS/DD format.
Does anyone have a spare 8in drive gathering dust in a corner
somewhere? Based on the prices on Greed-Bay, I get the impression
most of the sellers have been engaging in some form of abuse of
illicit substances.... I mean, seriously, $700 for a Shugart 801,
"untested" (which would seem to be a synonym for "I know it's broken
but I sure as hell won't admit it!") and missing the head-amp /
motor control PCB?
Thanks,

Phil.
