So, what's the story with current-use 8" flop media? My brother Gregg got my old CP/M system running, novelty is wearing off and is willing to part with it now :-) It's a homemade box, I forget what's in it, though I do remember it's got a Cromemco 4FDC with a data separator piggyback board from a Trash 1 living under the WD17xx chip (the Pertecs the 4FDC was meant for had data sep on-board). Two Shugart drives with solidstte relays to shut 'em off after inactivity, which is just as well, as the bearings now howl like crazed tiny animals. I have one sealed box of Dysans (list price: $65. My price: $2 from a stationary store in Tucson AZ closing in 1998. Wish I had bought 'em all.). How does this stuff hold up? I assume no one actually makes them anymore!
