Wow, and only $86 to ship it to the UK !
Sometimes I realise why other people drive bigger cars than me and can afford to go on holiday etc  :lol:

What an utter ripoff.

Sad thing is, someone will probably buy it.   :-(

AND it is just an ordinary pc-HD-floppydrive, not the rare FZ 357A

But sometimes Companies need such a piece and not a different brand.

I know of a big company who bought a 20MB HD (Seagate 225) for a huge amount plus emergency shipping. But they wanted a NOS and not a 2nd hand to reuse an old HP-Vectra 80286.
