I'm trying to recover some files off of a couple

much classic stuff left so I guess this will have to be a sale rather
than a trade.
AFAIK, there's nothing magic about the 520ST floppy drive--if you can
find that multi-pin DIN connector, you can easily take a stock 3.5"
720K or 1.44M drive and use it. I've got the pinout for the
connector (and may even have one in my hellbox) if you want to tackle
rolling your own.
