Oh no, he's back with more hardware crap to try to get rid of :-) :-) :-) A week or so ago I posted a brief blurb on some 3.5" floppy hack we were doing for our club. Basically we found some inexpensive IBM 720 K drives and were able to modify them to fully function on the Amiga. After modification, they will directly plug into a 2000, or with the use of a small interface we built, will function as an external drive, through the drive port. The physical characteristics are almost the same, they are a tad slimmer than the normal Chinon's found in the 2000's (by about 3/8"), they have a black faceplate with a hinged door. The external interface card requires about $3 in parts and the proper cables (plus case for the drive). We did this for our club and did not get rid of them all, so I am making the same offer on here. A modified, tested drive is $55, and if needed, the external interface card (BARE) is $15. Plus some pennies for shipping :-). If interested leave me e-mail. We have a very limited supply (we bought all that we could get), and cannot use more than 4 at once on our machines (GRIN). p.s. these are Alps drives...
