    I would like to know if anyone shares my problem, if so, I would love to
here other peoples solutions.

    I own an IBM PS/2 Model 30 286.  Two months beyond warranty the floppy
disk drive has decided to fail and I need to replace it.  Where in the world
can I get a replacement???  I have tried, and will continue to try, every
mail order place in the entire computer shopper magazine!  No one seems to
sell a floppy (3.5" 1.44Mb) drive that is compatible with the 30 286.  If
anyone has any ideas I would love to know, the dealer says I can get one
for $250, but I don't want to pay that when I see drives of the same type,
(different plug in the back) for only $100 and less.

    I just need a disk drive.  Help.  If anyone from IBM reads this, feel
free to call me for a complete (complaint) synopsis of my dilemma.

                                       Petto :->
