The TEAC FD235HF is a 1.44Mb (HD) 3.5" floppy mechanism, and I'd
like to find out where to purchase one. Any pointers to cheap sources,
or guesses on how much one would cost are much appreciated. New or used
is acceptable. Does anyone have a number/address to contact TEAC at
directly?
Thanks in advance.

It is the most popular drive sold with all of the IBM clones, in that size category. I have one myself. Just pick up any Computer Shopper issue, there are probably 150 different vendors in that mag alone that sell the drive. The going price ranges from $50-$70. The prices near the bottom of the spectrum seem to turn up most often at computer swaps. As for TEAC's address: TEAC America, Inc. 7733 Telegraph Road Montebello, CA 90640 (213) 726-0303 Hope it helps! Philip pk@wet.uucp {cca.ucsf.edu,hoptoad,claris}!wet!pk
