5 1/4 Inch Floppy Drive

bubbles · 2001-07-09 21:38:00

I found me a massive box of all my old 5 1/4 inch floppy disks, theres well over 1000 of them in there. Anyway, my old Amstrad 8086 is a tad slow these days so I'm wondering if anyone out there knows where I can buy a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive for my machine, will fit in nicely under the writer! Viva le auld days! Thanks
