Hi there M8,
wouldn't it be easier to try ebay or something along those lines. In the UK, these are quite common on ebay so maybe it could be the same in Spain with a bit of luck. |

Blimey that's a lot for postage, I have seen the drive you mentioned in the UK and its from the seller airey36 who has a few bits and pieces as usual for sale. I would have thought that there would maybe have been something available in Spain but the postage costs from the UK seem reasonableand maybe even comparable with the actual costs in Spain itself, what a crazy world we live in with postage costs varying so much from place to place as it does.

I think the way to go with the external drives is something like what Steve has done here http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=54731
Loads of floppy files stored on a SD card instead of hunting for the right floppy disk |
