Capt! I LITERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOAD when I read "WTB 5 1/4" Floppy"...

I may actually have on laying around my office... I'm sure the date stamp on it will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back before I went to highschool!

 

Rob, I think I found one but let me know, thanks,

You do know the museum does not let you take stuff home with you, right?

 

where are your manners, my friends? its not nice to make fun of your fellow board dweller. i'm sure he has a use for it. paperweight perhaps?

 

Hey OP, I have a 1.2M (high density) 5.25" HH floppy drive...tested and working...actually two of them, for sale. PM if interested.

(quick reminder as I see you specified FH - FH is two CD drives stacked, HH is one. Are you sure you want a FH? You're going back to the XT days for that...)

A bit buried in school stuff currently so there may be some delays involved.

 

Thanks, I think I've got one coming. I do need a half height, it's been a while! I'll let you know if the other one falls through.

Heh... I've got a FH 5 1/4" FDD and FH 5MB HDD that both work in my Zenith Z-120... which also works.

Dude. Where's the [Start] icon?

 

Costello: Hey, Abbott!
Abbot: Yes, Lou?

Costello: I just got my first computer.
Abbot: That's great Lou. What did you get?

Costello: A Pentium II-266, with 40 Megs of RAM, a 2.1 Gig hard drive, and a 24X CD-ROM.
Abbot: That's terrific, Lou.

Costello: But I don't know what any of it means!!
Abbot: You will in time.

Costello: That's exactly why I am here to see you.
Abbot: Oh?

Costello: I heard that you are a real computer expert.
Abbot: Well, I don't know-

Costello: Yes-sir-ee. You know your stuff. And you're going to train me.
Abbot: Really?

Costello: Uh huh. And I am here for my first lesson.
Abbot: O.K. Lou. What do want to know?

Costello: I am having no problem turning it on, but I heard that you should be very careful how you turn it off.
Abbot: That's true.

Costello: So, here I am working on my new computer and I want to turn it off. What do I do?
Abbot: Well, first you press the Start button, and then-

Costello: No, I told you, I want to turn it off.
Abbot: I know, you press the Start button-

Costello: Wait a second. I want to turn it off. Off. I know how to start it. So tell me what to do.
Abbot: I did.

Costello: When?
Abbot: When I told you to press the Start button.

Costello: Why should I press the Start button?
Abbot: To shut off the computer.

Costello: I press Start to stop.
Abbot: Well Start doesn't actually stop the computer.

Costello: I knew it! So what do I press.
Abbot: Start

Costello: Start what?
Abbot: Start button.

Costello: Start button to do what?
Abbot: Shut down.

Costello: You don't have to get rude!
Abbot: No, no, no! That's not what I meant.

Costello: Then say what you mean.
Abbot: To shut down the computer, press-

Costello: Don't say, "Start!"
Abbot: Then what do you want me to say?

Costello: Look, if I want to turn off the computer, I am willing to press the Stop button, the End button and Cease and Desist button, but no one in their right mind presses the Start to Stop.
Abbot: But that's what you do.

Costello: And you probably Go at Stop signs, and Stop at green lights.
Abbot: Don't be ridiculous.

Costello: I am being ridiculous? Well. I think it's about time we started this conversation.
Abbot: What are you talking about?

Costello: I am starting this conversation right now. Good-bye.

 

I hate to put a damper on all this hilarity, but I've got one. The warranty expired in November of 1994, but it is currently working fine. Thanks to those who contacted me with offers.
