I've still got a Seagate ST-4096 MFM drive here if anyone wants it .. not 
sure if it works or not, as Pentium 4 PCs don't have MFM/RLL controllers 
these days ... ;)

Details ...

http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/mfm/st4096.html

Can be collected from work (W1) or home (W3 or SE9) - don't fancy posting 
it due to the fragility of these drives, or I can deliver within 
London/SE.  The cost?  Zero, Zilch.  A pint may be appreciated, however!

All the best

Matt
