These are pretty solid drives, to wit, I've had a couple of them in occasional
service since about '86 or so, and, though they've had no maintenance,
they've
worked fine without it. A single drive might be just a mite hard to accomodate,
though.

We removed this from the machine it was in, so we know it
has never been handled roughly. We haven't tested it though,
just hadn't gotten around to it. Since we know most of you
hobbyist/collector types don't want to pay much for anything,
and since
http://www.cadigital.com/flopdriv.htm prices them
at $149.00 and up, if anybody wants it, suggest something of
value you'd have to trade for it.
