Floppy drives are so cheap nowdays, >why not just throw it away and buy a new one... I'm sure it will save >alot of hassles. Greetings. Don't throw it out. I'll give you $5 plus pay shipping if you send it to me. Why? I need a few stepping motors... (Yeah, I know I can get them from surplus but I already have a bunch of controller board for the ones that come with 360K drives...) Send e-mail with your address and a quote for shipping. I'll mail a M.O. next day. Take care. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ "The Force will be with you, always."
