- Greetings,
-
- I am in need of a internal or external floppy drive (1.44mb 3.5"). My
- computer is an early model 30 type 8530, and the read write head of the
- drive was damaged. IBM wants 5 to 6 hundred dollars for a replacement
- internal drive, and that's a little silly.
-
- What I would like is perhaps a used internal drive or a used external drive
- with the proper interface card. Actually a new drive would be acceptable.
-
- Details:
- The old drive was a MELCO drive (Mitsubishi Elec. Co.)
- Dated June 1989
- Part Number 72x6068
- Serial Number: MF3553-599MA
- Voltage: + 12 Volts DC/ +5 Volts DC
- Rev D02
- 34 pin connector.
-
- E-mail any responses to jdp@pittslug.sug.org
