    oh man, is that a combination 3.5 and 5.25 inch floppy drive? i love those. until i upgraded to my asus mobo that doesn't have a floppy connector, i used one of those in all the incarnations of my desktop pc. i've got stacks of both types of floppies for it too. my grand prize thati have not found yet is a 8" floppy drive.

    Eh, no. I just found a stack of ~30 5 1/4" floppies.

    Scary thing is, I am using the exact same style drives as in that one video.
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    Two things:

    I need some sort of controller for the 4 drives I'm using.

    And, does somebody happen to have a spare 5 1/4" (or two ) collecting dust?


    Although, this is the (2nd) best floppy music I've seen:

    Well, thanks to YouTube user Sammy1Am, the programming section of this is DONE!
    I know, programming is (ahhahaha) half the fun, but I'm kinda short on time.

    xr4man, I'm still interested in those drives if you still have them; I'm just broke right now, and will get to them later.
