Subject: possible sources of 8" floppy drives
This all started on comp.os.cpm (its my fault) but I am cross posting this
to comp.sys.tandy for any interested Model 2 and Model 16 owners out there.
I asked for help fixing my 8" drive and then posted the results from which
I have received six mail requests for the names of companies supplying
eight inch floppy drives and in lieu of sending out all that mail, here is
what I have been told by you gentle readers:
Electronic Supply Company
Seattle, Washington
(206)632-2222
Cascade Electronics
Route 1
Box 8
Randolf, Minnisota
(507)645-7997
Tektronix Country Store
Beaverton, Oregon
(503)627-6769
I have not tried any of these places as I have run up a big enough long
distance bill lately and my wife reminded me that I have her and three
children to feed.
I still want to buy a drive so if any of you try these places, post the
results on such things as models, prices, and willingness to ship. There
seems to be a lot of interest.
