Atari XF 551 Drive, Quintopus, Modded floppy drives, printer....

[VicViper]

Got a handful of nice stuff in a recent lot, talk me out of eBay ladies and gentlemen.
I have a tested XF551, clean, with no cords to spare. Uses the same power supply as the 1050 drive.
Have a Quintopus SIO splitter, wouldn't know how to test this thing even if I did have half a dozen SIO cables
Not pictured yet; an XF551 modded to connect to an Atari ST 3.5" Drive. Hooked everything up and the drives light up, but I have no 3.5" floppies. Couldn't get it to run 5.25 floppies, perhaps as a result of the mod. Unsure if you need certain mods to your computer to use this.
Also a printer, 1020? Will post pics later.

Taking offers at the moment.

A few more pics, this is a 1050 with a toggle switch on the side, I believe it protects from accidentally writing to the disk? Tested with my cords, loaded floppies fine, if not a bit noisy. Offers.

Quintopus likely sold, modded XF551 pending.

It's not a Happy On/Off switch, is it?

suppose it could be, previous owner wrote "write" next to the up position of the toggle. How could I tell?

Happy switch is highly unlikely if it says write.
