I have for sale (atm.) 16 modified PC floppy drives for Amiga. Asking price 16€ - except Nr.15 & 16 they are 14€

All have been cleaned, lubricated & tested on A2K, A600, A1200 & A4K under different KickStart ROMs - 1.3, 2.05, 3.9, 3.14.

Tested situations:
  • DOS games, nonDOS games,
  • boot/copy/write/format/disk change DD and HD (880kb formatted) floppies in Workbench,
  • read/format/verify/copy DD and HD (880kb formatted) floppies in X-Copy,
  • head calibration OK in Amiga Test Kit,
  • for any strange noises....
All drives are working flawless.

Some Floppies have shown during the drive tests in Keir Fraser Amiga Test Kit that READY Signal is too fast or oscillating - that doesn't affect the functionality on the Amiga in any way.

Drives would fit into big box Amigas, external disk drives or modified PC cases.
It is possible to fit them in 500/600/1200, but eject button will need some modification or have to 3D print new one, and you need some standoffs and holders.

Asking price 16€ + postage (PayPal F&F or IBAN only). Local pickup welcome.

Shipping cost to EU is about 10€.
Please check the Austrian Post site for more postage quotes

If interested, please write here & send me a PM.

For any other info, feel free to ask.

Interested in drives 10, 11 and 12. Please provide total amount shipping included.

Each floppy is about 400g. Those 3 + packaging should not exceed 2kg, which is the limit for the 10€ shipment.

3 floppies x 16€ = 48€ + 10€ shipment, in all 58€

PM me please your data (address....), if you want them.
Thanks.

Hi mate,

sorry, but #7 reserved outside Amibay.

Shipping to Australia is a bit pita, but i can do it.
Cheapest option would be 22€ - no tracking. 27€ with tracking.

I need a new DF0: for an A3000. Do you still have anything compatible? I have an eject button.

Hi m8,

Mostly sold on other platforms or locally.
Have to check if any left. And if, are those compatible with the 3000 :unsure:

But!, to be honest, shipping to US gonna be a PITA & expensive - about 30€ + don't know about customs!?
For that amount of money, I think you could find in US or CAN org. Amiga floppy.


If you still want it, I'm gonna try to find some of them in my pile.

greetz.
