Wanted - A500 internal floppy drive, live in USA
Looking to see if anyone in USA has an internal A500 floppy drive to offer? Would save me heavy freight charges from EU.
My A500 internal floppy is giving out too many errors and I already gave it a good cleaning but to no avail. Time to replace it. I don't care whether I get an exact OEM replacement or not, but ideally I don't want to have to do any modding to fit it into my A500 case. Also, if anyone wants my original Chinon FB-354 for parts or refurb then let me know. It is still functioning so-so but often will not read certain disks that are easily read in another drive. It is free to whomever minus freight charges to your location. |

Something to consider is drive alignment. I have not done it myself, but I think you losten the screws on the step motor and rotate ever so slightly. I remember reading about it a year or so back. I just can't remember where. As for picking up one did you try software hut or another would be amigalounge
