Keneg Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) I have two extra 1050 drives I would like to sell because I have one now with a Happy enhancement. I bought both of these from eBay listed as untested for parts or repair. One turned out to work and the other I repaired. The one I repaired has a new pressure pad and 74LS74 chip. Both have been tested using the 1050 diagnostics program as well as testing formatting, writing, reading disks. Tested reading disks formatted with other drives, so alignment should be good. Asking $70 plus shipping for each. I have the shield off the one I worked on. I could install a Happy enhancement in it before putting it back together for an extra $45. If bought as is, I will reinstall the shield. Edited September 10, 2018 by Keneg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in buying one for $70 (with DOS 2.5 disc, data (SIO) cable, and power supply) plus installing Happy Enhancement $45 and shipping. /r Gregory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grig Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Also, where is the best source for blank High Density 5.25" Floppy Disks? What are your recommendations for an SD drive emulator? /r Gregory I use SDrive max. Touch screen and it works fantastic. I also use Ultimate Cart for my ROM and XEX files.

@RealActorRob Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Adjacent: I need an SIO cable. Bought a 1010 and a 1050 and neither has an SIO cable. Or power supply, but I got the T power one off Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
