I found a box of drives that I had been given years ago and had 
forgotten about.  All are used and pulled from working systems (TRS-80s 
mostly).  All have black face plates.

half height:

     TEAC FD-55FV-35-U  (80 track, 720KB)

     Matsushita SA455   (40 trk, ds)
     yes I know sa455 is a shugart designation,
     but that is what the label says

     Toshiba (40 track, ds)
     (part of the label is missing) ... 02 REV A

     Mitsubishi M4854
     double sided; web search says "1.2MB"

     Mitsubishi M4854
     double sided; web search says "1.2MB"

     Shugart SA465
     "720K  5.25  Double Sided, Quad Density"
     written in pencil: "OK 4-90"


full height:

     tandon, relabeled "texas perhipherals"
     type unknown, but probably 40 track, ss

     tandon tm100-1A  (ss, 40 trk, 180K),
     bezel says "MTI 140 / MOD III PLUS"

     MPI Model 52
     This might be crap; there is a hand written
     note on the side, written in sharpie, saying
     "Head #1 read only"


Request one, any combination, or all.  Local pickup gets priority. 
Otherwise, if there are multiple requests for the same drive, the random 
number generator of a Wang 2200 will decide the winner.  I reserve the 
right to skew the results to minimize the number of boxes I need to ship.

None of these drives have protective cardboard inserts.  The drives will 
be bubble wrapped for shipment.
