New Miniature computing devices
Ash, if ya should feel the need -- I have at my disposal [unfortunately only one] genyewine original Shugart 8" floppy drive, single sided, single density. Shipping instructions?

Also, I think I can come up with a couple of the high-tech Newer Models -- the half-height, double-sided, double-density ones that stored *gasp* 1.2 megabytes on something not *much* bigger than the pizza-box system units from Gateway, et. al.

No blanks, though. Sincere apologies[TM]
Regards,
Ric

New Speaking of computing devices
I know a guy who has a warehouse (or storage shed, I'm not exactly sure) full of old computers. Kaypro. Osbourne. Tandy 2000.

The biggest regret I've heard him express over the years is that he didn't pick up a copy of Microsoft Bob when he saw it at one of these computer shows a few years ago.

His (expressed) plan is to open up some sort of computer museum, but I think that's just an excuse - he just enjoys accumulating stuff.

New Well, I've got plenty of 8" floppys . .
. . and drives to go with them (Qumes & Mitsubishis), but somewhere around here I've got an 8" Winchester hard disk (10-Meg if I remember correctly).
