Hunting Floppies

[Daniel Fligg]

Hi All.

I'm on the scrounge for old Floppy Disk Drives.

I can't promise not to destroy them, but after sorting my recent voltage regulation problems, there's far more chance of them surviving now :)

If you've got any old computers floating about in the loft or garage donations would be greatly accepted :)

Many Thanks


Fligg.

Try asking at Access Space http://access-space.org/ they recycle old
PCs and always have tons of them sitting around so some must still
have floppy drives in them.

They are one of the original hacker space type places but are focused
more on teaching and community access than pure hard core hacking. A
very friendly lot with a newly built fablab.

I probably have a few available if required - not sure which ones
actually work anyway so might be good candidates to be ripped apart.
