Re: [vcf-midatlantic] "floppy drive pot luck" at the June workshop
OK I just bought the lot. Whatever is left over I can always keep or put up on ebay. I hope to be there tomorrow 1pm or so.

I am planning to come to the June workshop this weekend, in the hopes that someone can help me diagnose my smokin' hot (literally) Eagle PC.
I found a seller on ebay who is local to me, that just sold a lot of 5.25" floppy drives for $7 each. He has 13 more of them that he was planning to put up for auction. He says that they were all pulled from PCs on their way to recycling, and they have not been tested. They are all half-height drives. He is willing to sell me the pile for $6 each.
I will pick up the other 13 drives if enough folks who will be at the event this weekend are willing to put up $6 each for one or more of them. I will keep a few myself; there will be about 10 up for grabs. Who's in? The seller has given me a day to gauge your interest in this stuff.
If this email violates some sort of "no commerce" mandate, I apologize. I am not looking to make anything on all this; just looking to share what seems like a good deal.
