FA: Chinon FZ-357A High Density Amiga floppy drive
« on: March 02, 2008, 11:00:04 PM »
This used high density Amiga floppy drive was tested to read both DD and HD disks. In this case 880K Amiga/720K PC and 1440K IBM PC formatted but if it reads IBM formatted floppies it should have not problem with Amiga formatted ones. (If bidding goes well and you want the floppy cable from the A4000, I'll be happy to include it.)

Auction is here
I think, Therefore - Amiga....

Forgive the shameless... bump

But this auction is over halfway done.

Someone might have missed this working High Density Chinon floppy.

The FZ-357A is only at $30 and there is less than 22 hours left. It's a tested High Density floppy drive.

I hope you are not thinking you will get more than $30 for a floppy drive from members here, even if it is the highly prized High Density type.  Others on eBay might pay the crazy prices I have seen for this floppy drive, but most of the members here are smarter than those crazy eBay bidders.

Good luck (I mean that sincerely) at getting $75 to $95 for your floppy on eBay.  I have seen the bidding go that high for HD Amiga floppy drives in the past.

I may have one or two of them to auction or sell in the near future as I continue to organize my massive collection and start getting rid of the extra bits and bytes.

Sorry, no 1960 monitors.  I have never owned one of those, but I do have about 11 1080s & 1084s, plus 2 or 3 NEC multisyncs, one Nokia 15" hooked to the A3000T and 3 20" Toshiba TIMMs.

I may be getting rid of some 1080s or 1084s, but hate to part with any since they are good video monitors for the editing studio and they also work with assorted game consoles.

I just received the upgrade chips for my two bridgeboards to upgrade them to 486slc @25mHz and will probably sell one of those as soon as I have the other set up and working for myself.  I am hurting so bad for money right now that I may start selling things before I really wanted to. :boohoo:
