Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 8" Floppy Drive Motor question

All the IMSAI's, Apple's, OSI's and Altair's except the one I still use
sometimes are double wrapped in plastic and stored is a dry place.

Also Corvus 5 Mb hard drive and 8 port LAN mux to Mod 3 / 4 Radio Shack
computers and a bunch of 3,4,4P's.

Also have the manuals for most of these toys, real construction or factory
service manuals safely wrapped and stored.
