WANTED: A500 floppy drive
« on: December 28, 2007, 03:54:55 PM »
Hi all

I need an A500 floppy drive since an A1200 one doesn't align with the faceplate of my 1581 kit. Does anyone have one they want to part with? I'm based in England but will pay for international shipping if it's not too much. Can pay with PayPal.

Cheers!

@Moto

 A simple advice: avoid those old drives! Use a hack to a new unit, instead. Hernan from Argentina make an excellent one. Look here.

 Use the original eject button and the hack will be perfect!

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

Thanks for the advice. Still need a drive to take the eject button from though, so if anyone has an A500 drive please let me know.

Hi there,
I've got a *faulty* boxed A500, but with a tested working FDD. If you can collect, you can have the lot for free.

Located nr Doncaster.

Hi Hodgkinson

Thanks for the offer! Doncaster is a long way for me to go unfortunately otherwise I would jump on it. Would you consider sending me the floppy drive on its own?

Just heard that the 1581 doesn't work with PC drives modified to work with the Amiga. So I do need an A500 drive.
