Good score Joe! You didn't happen to get an external floppy drive in the
mix, did you?

Oh sweet! What disk size? (2.5", 3.5", or 5.25")
Also, are you willing to part with one of them?

Rumor has it that Keys may have mentioned these words:
I have two in storage.
I have 1, with an extra 2" floppy drive that someday (read as: prolly
never) I wanted to install that one internally in my CoCo3...
;-)

I have a dead Minisport that I pulled the 2" drive out of and I gave it
to Don Maslin along with five or so disks. No idea what happened to it
after he died.
One of the Minisports that I picked up this weekend is missing the 2"
drive and is supposed to be dead. The other is complete and is supposed to
be working but I haven't tested it yet. I got an external 3 1/2" drive with
the stuff this weekend and somewhere I have one for the old dead Minisport.

Do you have any external drives that you are willing
to part with?
