Subject: Shugart 801

       Greetings. I got a Sol-20 Terminal Computer a few months ago
       but only started playing with it this weekend. It's a 8080
       based machine with a S100 buss. It came with 3 boards:
       32K SRAM, 16KSRAM, and a DiskJockey 2D/B disk controller.
       It also came with a box of 8" disks. 

       Anyways, I hooked it all up and after a few hours of the
       good'old guessing at DIP switches I got the darn thing
       to boot CP/M 2.2! [wheeee ;-)]

       That's all fine but there is a catch. This system came with
       2 8" drives. Drive A (bootable) works fine but the analog 
       controller on drive B does not. That means that I can format
       a disk (I have) and I can SYSGEN it (have too) but I can NOT
       copy anything without drive B :-(

       SO!

       Anyone have a 801 (SSDD 8") drive lying around? I saw many
       at the "swapfest" but, at the time, I did not have this
       computer. My offer:

       $5 + shipping if you have just the board (under the drive)
       $25 + shipping for the whole drive (drive+board+case+ps)

       Next swapfest is in April so if noone gives any decent offers,
       I can wait :-(

       Please send e-mail with offer.

       Take care.
