5 1/4 Disk Drives (DD)

Post by RWAP »

Does anyone have a working 5 1/4" disk drive capable of reading DSDD disks?

The disks are currently with George Gwilt, but it appears his drives are only capable of reading single sided disks....

I've got a 5.25" disk drive, that I think used to format 360K 5.25" disks to 720K, If that's what you are looking for.

Its only a bare drive, and it's not been used in years, but as far as I know it's OK.

I've also got a bunch of 5.25" disks, if your interested.
