Closed BBC Micro 3.5" floppy disc drive

[StrontiumDog]

Modified PC drive, hardwired as Drive 0 for the BBC B, B+ or Master computers. It sits in a 5.25" drive bay adapter which can be removed if necessary.

No longer required as my BBC Master has gone solid state and now runs all software from memory cards.

Comes with both ribbon cable and power cable. Buyer will require a female molex to male floppy 3.5" power cable which can be brought for pennies from feebay.

Works with ALL disc filing systems.

15 GBP including UK postage

Can you write disks on a PC and use them on the Beeb? Sorry for the dumb question.

@ Tokyoracer

If you buy a solid state setup for your Beeb then you can write directly to memory card then either run from the card or make a disk from the .ssd file using internal commands

As long as your PC has a real Floppy on the controller & not a USB type then you can use Omniflop to write Discs for Beeb as well as Speccy / Amstrad / Atari / etc...

Use V3 for win 7x86 and there is also a 64Bit version available
