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.

in the ebay uk you can find one floppy 10€ + 10€ to spain

from Italy are 45€ to spain, sorry

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 have buy 2 drive (defect) from airey36 at price of 12€ and one are perfect, the other have a belt broken but i change the belt and now is ok

i call the post office for price (the site are not sure)

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

I'd already looking on ebay, but it seemed expensive 10 pounds of shipping

cpiac64: if the shipping from italy is less 10 pound I buy one

Regards
