Subject: 5 Mb Hard Disc Drives and TM100-3M Floppy

For the past two months I have helped several people get 5 Mb Hard Disc
Drives. The biggest problem was that I was getting them at $350 and
charging $375 ($25 shipping/my gas..etc).  The TM 602S sold so fast that
they were unavailable for a while.  The real problem was that the people
that I have a contact with were really selling these drives to OEM's for
>$430 and therefore they decided to make more money than and not sell it
to people like us. I was able to locate some Segate ST-506 5 Mb drives
for $375 ($400 with shipping..etc) for some.

The real jist of this message is that I have seen with my own eyes 10
Tandom TM602s (5.25 5 mb hard disc drives....NEW) and I can get them for
anyone interested. I can also get 4 ST-506 Drives but they cost $25.00
more. He also has TM100-3M floppies which are single sided 100
TPI(Tracks per inch) and 80 track drives for $160.00.

I not sure if messages like this belong on the net and anyone who can
suggest a better place would be appreciated. Its just that I feel that
if people can get these discs at CHEAP prices..... why not tell people.
All of the drives that I have gotten have checked out ok and are new.  I
would appreciate people directing requests/questions to me directly so
that info-cpm and info-micro are not cluttered up any more that what I'm
doing now.
