What's up with these floppies???

Maybe he had a customer lined up. It's really hard to say. But if he had to buy these things through normal retail channels, he'd pay a lot more. I've done the same thing--paid something like $70 for a NEC 3.5" diskette drive for a customer who needed one as a replacement (this NEC was a very weird drive, with status lines that one doesn't normally see on a commodity 3.5" drive--and it was a 1.3MB model to boot). I turned around and sold it to the guy for $150 after I checked it out. He was happy to pay that. OT: Did anyone see the 1620 core memory module on eBay? 8824427759 Looks to be only a partial one--and the guy has his numbers wrong--the base model 1620 came with 20K digits of memory. (a digit being CF8421 6 bits decimal). Cheers, Chuck
