I'm trying to help some guys outfit TI-99/4As with
360K
drives. A year or so ago, they were still available from
some of the surplus dealers I know about, but they seem
to have disappeared.
Does anyone have a line on supplies of 360K drives? The
only ones I find via web search are $25, which seems a
bit much for a once-ubiquitous drive that is now a little
obsolete.
I've been picking them up on eBay, often in never-been-used condition, for
$10 - $12 including shipping. I've also found some in junk systems at
thrift stores. They are not as easy to find (at least in my neck of the
woods) as they were a couple of years ago, but the high-density "1.2 MB"
drives seem to be everywhere (including my shop -- I've got almost 50 of
them here!).
