Hi all,

I have a couple of items that I want to clear out (part II):

I'm having trouble getting it recognized. I had sold this before on Amibay, but I had to cancel the sale because of these issues. Now for sale as defective.
Asking price: € 40,- SOLD TO Baemm

Interested in the USB Floppy, depending on whether it can read and write 720KB DS/DD disks ( slim chance, I know ).
 
Some newer USB floppies are hardwired only to accept 1.44MB HD floppies. Can you try it? Or have you, so its certain it does? I am referring to 720KB DS/DD IBM PC floppy diskettes format, not Amiga's 880KB. To clarify this even further, some may be able to only read 720KB floppies, but not write to them.

I've learned something new today!

Unfortunately the drive is not reading/writing/formatting 720kB floppys. I've tried another drive that I have on my system (Sony MPF88E-UA, which reads/writes at double speed), and that one is indeed able to read/write/format 720kB floppys.
 
Hi!

Intrested in the cumana external floppy drive. What would be the shipping cost to Hungary?
 
Payment received and will ship out today.

Only the external floppy drive with the three holes still available. Maybe to add in favor of this product, it contains a very silent drive.
