I am looking for one or two 8" floppy drives, preferably Shugart
compatible at a reasonable price.
Does anyone have anything like this laying around, unused, in their
basement, storage locker, garage, etc.
I am looking to make a RX01 (and hopefully RX02) disk formatter and copier.
Thanks,
???????????? Mike

Where are you located?? I have two full height single sided Shugart
drives you could have for shipping.? I got them a few years ago for a
project that I am no longer interested in.? They are used and I do not
know if they are fully functional or not, but could do some basic
testing if your are interested.? I am located on the east coast of Canada.
Paul.

I have, as far as I recall, a 8" single sided full height Shugart drive here
that I swapped out of my Trash 80 Model II for a pair of half height DSDD
drives many many years ago.
I can send it to you for the cost of postage if it is of use to you.

Mike gets first choice, of course, but I'm also looking for something
similar, especially since doubled-sided half-height drives (TM848) can
become media strippers (two ceramic heads vs one head and a pad). I
just need to read single-sided DEC media, so that's fine. I should
have all the cables and adapters and such squared away shortly, and I
already have a 486 I'm using with ImageDisk, TeleDisk, and PUTR with
5.25" media. 8" is next, especially a large carton of RX01 media.
RX02 might have to wait on getting/finding an RXV21 and restoring an
RX02 because the format is oddball. I think I have an RXV21 somewhere
but I wouldn't have used it in this century.
After Mike gets squared away, I'm in for a SS FH 8" drive.
I'm in Ohio.
