Thanks for sharing; the price sounds reasonable, I don't think it'll take much to fix that flickering
Mine has two normal 5 1/4 drives although they are in fact two-sided; I added the second drive myself and when I couldn't find a drive to match the original TEC drive I installed a pair of Panasonics. I haven't dug it out for a while but it is indeed pretty clean and although I haven't used it very much recently I've never had any problems with it. The 3.5" drives were just a fun experiment to see if they would work without any modifications; they did indeed, but of course without modifying the DVI firmware you still only have 180 KB per drive, regardless of single/double sided or 5 1/4 vs. 3.5" Nevertheless, if you don't mind being incompatible with anyone else there may be some slight advantage to using 3.5" diskettes; easier to come by, easier to store, maybe more reliable dpending on whom you listen to, etc. Hope you get that flicker sorted and have fun with it! m On Sat, Sep 17, 2022 at 8:16 PM Spencer <spencer...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello Mike. > > I found it on ebay and paid $140 plus shipping/taxes. > > Does your have 2 5 1/4" or a mix of 5 1/4 and 3.5" drives? > > Your pics show the unit as really clean.
