I saw someone ask about SCSI 1.44Mb foppy drives. I would like one if
someone knows a source. I need a device with no case, just a drive.
Thanks, Kent

Actually the DEC floppy that you can get for the DEC 3100 is pretty good. I think we spent about $500 for it (gasp) but it included a lot of sheet metal and mounting brackets for putting it and 2 other drives inside the CPU cabinet. You might be able to get just the floppy for a more reasonable price. The advantage of it over others (like the NCR scsi to floppy converter) is that the DEC doesn't require a mode_select command to set it up before data access; something to consider if you don't have the source to the device driver.
