I'm pleased to offer two 5.25in BBC floppy drives free to anyone who can collect them from Cambridge. I suppose if the "buyer" is willing to pay postage I could post them but it won't be worth it.
Lot 1 is Watford Electronics dual 40/80 tracks and plugs into the Beeb's power supply. Comes in original packaging and has been modded with extra rubber feet. I believe this to be in full working order but I've only bothered to test drive 0. Doesn't make that "gark gark gark" noise. Nazir Jessa of Watford Electronics says: "Get your hands on this design classic while you can." Probably.
Lot 2 is labelled Cumana CS100 and is a single drive with its own power supply. Unfortunately I'm not convinced that this is working at all. It wouldn't read any discs when I tried it this afternoon, giving "unable to read track/sector" style errors. I should have tried formatting... Ho-hum.
