Hey Jules,
Let me look.. I may have a couple sealed boxes of HD 5-1/4" media around
here.. I mostly only need DS/DD (well, SS/DD..) so the HD media just kind
of sits around waiting for something to happen.
Check in off-list, and I'll get back with you.

Morning all...
I'm in need of a 5.25" 40-track double-sided floppy drive (i.e. the
venerable "360K" in PC parlance), preferably one with direct drive to the
spindle so I don't have to worry about worn drive belts. Bezel color,
height etc. unimportant, I just want a 40t unit to hang permanently off my
desktop PC, as hauling one out of my vintage machines every time I want to
write to a disk from there gets old fast.
I could also use ten or so *HD* 5.25" floppies so I can get my Compaq 286
and the pair of Compaq luggables at the local science museum up and running
- I've exhausted all of the local sources that I can think of. I don't
necessarily need new-in-box or anything, but of course error-free would be
good :-)
Anyone got anything they'd be willing to part with? (I'm in the northern
US)
[Also, I don't see many wanted ads on the list, although as far as I know
they're not frowned upon - apologies if they are!]
cheers,
Jules
