Cassidy Nolen Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 120mb hd is the big 5 1/4 footprint, not the more common smaller size. Units were both in the computer I grew up with, built in 1988. It was a monster, even had OCR software and a scanner (in the 80's!). Both of these have been climate controlled and kept in static free environment. I just don't need them. 20 plus shipping sound fair? Would also take an ugly Intellivision if it worked (or just the pcb would be fine too). Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassidy That hard drive isn't as old as you think it is, I could tell immediately from the picture it is a Quantum Bigfoot, made in the 90's. (So it's still old, just not 80's old... ) It's also a lot bigger than 120MB. The oldest ones started at 1.2GB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Bigfoot_%28hard_drive%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20ohm20 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I could tell immediately from the picture it is a Quantum Bigfoot, made in the 90's. This looks like a Quantum Bigfoot to me also. I have a 4GB version that was pulled from an IBM Aptiva that I bought in 1998 or 1999. Still works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Checked the jumper pin and see it is set up as a Slave drive. That makes sense. The computer was upgraded at some point in time after I moved out, so that makes sense. I must have grabbed the secondary drive when I disassembled it years ago. The system ran some fairly high level hardware for its time and this would make sense that someone added a second drive later in its life. Well, with all of that nostalgia, anybody need them or are they dumpster bound? CN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I would like to have but dont need the floppy disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikenovic Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 If only I saw this before. Just ordered a 5.25 floppy last week. There is some market for these things. Do you have any info on the 5.25 drive? brand? is it high density or double density? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 It is a Canon md 5501 drive. According to what I saw on line this is a 1.2mb drive. Does that sweeten it at all for anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
