[sci.electronics] Shugart 801

	Greetings. I got a Sol-20 Terminal Computer a few months ago
	but only started playing with it this weekend. It's a 8080
	based machine with a S100 buss. It came with 3 boards:
	32K SRAM, 16KSRAM, and a DiskJockey 2D/B disk controller.
	It also came with a box of 8" disks. 

	Anyways, I hooked it all up and after a few hours of the
	good'old guessing at DIP switches I got the darn thing
	to boot CP/M 2.2! [wheeee ;-)]

	That's all fine but there is a catch. This system came with
	2 8" drives. Drive A (bootable) works fine but the analog 
	controller on drive B does not. That means that I can format
	a disk (I have) and I can SYSGEN it (have too) but I can NOT
	copy anything without drive B :-(

	SO!

	Anyone have a 801 (SSDD 8") drive lying around? I saw many
	at the "swapfest" but, at the time, I did not have this
	computer. My offer:

	$5 + shipping if you have just the board (under the drive)
	$25 + shipping for the whole drive (drive+board+case+ps)

	Next swapfest is in April so if noone gives any decent offers,
	I can wait :-(

	Please send e-mail with offer.

	Take care.
