Seeking external 5 1/4 floppy drive for Amiga

Hello to all,

I am currently in the process of transfering old amiga disks that contain demos and mods. Sadly most of them are in 5 1/4 and I currently don't have any disk drive for that disk size.

Would anyone be able to provide one to me for cheap/free? I can of course pay for postage.

Thanx in advance for your support.

regards

crown

I have an external 5.25" Amiga drive. It's not for sale, but I'd be happy to read files from your media if there aren't too many...

Hello dude,

thanx for your offer but I have around 200 disks so it will take pretty long.

I am really trying to find one for good.

No problem. If you have a Zorro Amiga you could also try a CatWeasal (or A1200 internal) as that should be just as good.

Best of luck with your search

I got 1 or even 2x 5 1/4 drives for Amiga in my cellar, willing to give away for free, but where do you live?
