I found a box of drives that I had been given years ago and had
forgotten about. All are used and pulled from working systems (TRS-80s
mostly). All have black face plates.
half height:
TEAC FD-55FV-35-U (80 track, 720KB)
Matsushita SA455 (40 trk, ds)
yes I know sa455 is a shugart designation,
but that is what the label says
Toshiba (40 track, ds)
(part of the label is missing) ... 02 REV A
Mitsubishi M4854
double sided; web search says "1.2MB"
Mitsubishi M4854
double sided; web search says "1.2MB"
Shugart SA465
"720K 5.25 Double Sided, Quad Density"
written in pencil: "OK 4-90"
full height:
tandon, relabeled "texas perhipherals"
type unknown, but probably 40 track, ss
tandon tm100-1A (ss, 40 trk, 180K),
bezel says "MTI 140 / MOD III PLUS"
MPI Model 52
This might be crap; there is a hand written
note on the side, written in sharpie, saying
"Head #1 read only"
Request one, any combination, or all. Local pickup gets priority.
Otherwise, if there are multiple requests for the same drive, the random
number generator of a Wang 2200 will decide the winner. I reserve the
right to skew the results to minimize the number of boxes I need to ship.
None of these drives have protective cardboard inserts. The drives will
be bubble wrapped for shipment.
