I have some Pertec formatters - but shipping over the pond would be
prohibitive?  They are in unknown condition, and likely need work.  I'd
have to look up their capabilities - I seem to recall at least one of
them was for a 7 track drive (or maybe 7/9 drive).  A couple of them
hosted a mouse one year, but were subsequently cleaned up:
