RE: source for 3.5" internal compatible drives - keithcbm - 06-26-2020 (06-25-2020, 08:40 PM)admin Wrote: So, I looked at the makercentra.netl website and see that yet another program that supports .scp images! I had never heard of this before. This person didn't contact me asking any questions about the .scp image file format, so I guess he had no problems implementing it?! yeah Josha (not joshua, easy mistake to make) is a really smart guy. I just had 3d printed his floppy-disk holder, turn tool, for about $15 shipped through CraftCloud. It keeps the 3.5mm door open and assist in cleaning the disks. His processing software interface is crazy capable, but heck if I can figure it out, with the manual. Maybe he's updated it....

I will have to grab it. RE: source for 3.5" internal compatible drives - keithcbm - 07-06-2020 There are a few current sources of NOS drives:
The going price for a NOS drives are about $20-$35. You should definitely not be paying $50 or more for a drive. Refurbished drives should be going for less. Floppy drives are wear and tear items --- unless I really trust that the drives were serviced by someone you trust, I really wouldn't consider them. Not in July 2020. Maybe things will get more dire in later years. When buying NOS drives, look for the signature baby blue transparent bags and yellow tape that these drives were put in from the manufacturer. Sometimes there's a plastic shell that then they went into after that. Hope this helps. |
