Thanks!! |
Basically put, when you buy something "as is", you are buying it the way it currently is. Unfortuntely, many 5.25 floppy drives are sold "as is" because many people are unable to test the drive.
When you buy a 5.25 on EBAY, only but from the auctions which say that the drive works.
I just bought a 5.25 drive this morning on EBAY so that I can buy old games.
There is a seller who is selling several 5.25 floppy drives which are said to be test & they work. You can see some of the 5.25 floppy drives which they are selling at http://computers.search.ebay.com/_Drives-Controllers-Storage_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfrppZ25QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ165QQsassZmandtcrafts |

I prefer the Dual Floppy drive units (3.5" and 5.25" HD both in the space of a cdrom type bay).
My 386/40 uses one of those, and I do have a decent selection of games and files on 5.25" DD and HD disks (because that is what I used in the 19880's and early 1990's). |
