[comp.os.cpm] possible sources of 8" floppy drives

tech@auvax.UUCP (Richard Loken) (03/11/88)

This all started on comp.os.cpm (its my fault) but I am cross posting this 
to comp.sys.tandy for any interested Model 2 and Model 16 owners out there.

I asked for help fixing my 8" drive and then posted the results from which
I have received six mail requests for the names of companies supplying
eight inch floppy drives and in lieu of sending out all that mail, here is
what I have been told by you gentle readers:

	Electronic Supply Company
	Seattle, Washington
	(206)632-2222

	Cascade Electronics
	Route 1
	Box 8
	Randolf, Minnisota
	(507)645-7997

	Tektronix Country Store
	Beaverton, Oregon
	(503)627-6769

I have not tried any of these places as I have run up a big enough long 
distance bill lately and my wife reminded me that I have her and three
children to feed.

I still want to buy a drive so if any of you try these places, post the
results on such things as models, prices, and willingness to ship.  There
seems to be a lot of interest.
