Black 3.5 PC floppy drives for Catweasel - $2.75

And cheap shipping Small Flat Rate Box Priority Mail shipping! I have at least 40 of these black drives. Tomorrow I should be listing drives with other color faceplates even cheaper and some without faceplate for almost nothing. I have other 300 drive to move in total.

Good deal. Do they have any jumpers (or solder pads)? The earlier FD-235HF were able to be used with the Amiga with some jumper changes.

I'm pretty sure these have solder pads, I can check when I get home.

Looks like you would have to move SMD resistors.



No idea if this could be converted, but would be interested to know if anyone has done it.

The jumpers needed for Amiga use are on the top side near the power connector.

Not on these!
