I should add, if anyone has a spare 5.25 floppy drive that they could sell
me, we should talk! It's the A9M0107 model in particular, as I'm sure you
all know. There's a bunch listed on ebay shipping from the US but with the
HEAVY postage being charged, the cost hovers between the �70-�100 mark,
which is more than I want to invest at the moment. I know that there are
cheaper shipping options out of the US to England but the devils selling
on eBay won't make a deal!
