Old Floppy Drives?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

I would like to buy 3.5" 2.88 MB ED floppy drive and 5.25" 1.2 MB HD floppy
drive. Where can I buy them within unopened boxes? I would like them to be
unused.

Where can I buy unused 2.88 MB and 1.2 MB floppy disks?

Occasionally I'll see a new 1.2 meg floppy drive in a computer store...
but they always want an *exceedingly* large amount of money for it...
however used ones can be had free as close as your junked 386 computer.

the 2.88 drive is an *extreme* rarity... i have one in my IBM ps/2 -486-33
but that's about the only one i;ve ever seen.
most motherboards do not support 2.88 anyway

A 2.88 MB floppy drive? Well, maybe, but I live in Finland. How should I pay
for it?
